A resolution regarding violence against law enforcement officers.
HRES 1213 is a non-binding House resolution condemning calls to defund police as contributing to increased violence against law enforcement officers. It urges better resources, training, and equipment for officers, calls for improved data collection on officer assaults and injuries, and acknowledges the mental health challenges officers face. The resolution expresses condolences to families of officers killed in the line of duty, citing 2021 as the deadliest year (586 deaths) and 2023 as having 137 officer deaths. It does not create new laws or allocate funds, serving as a symbolic statement of congressional support.
