COPS Reauthorization Act of 2023
The COPS Reauthorization Act of 2023 (S 1306) reauthorizes the COPS ON THE BEAT grant program, which provides funding to local law enforcement agencies for hiring and training officers. It sets a new annual funding level of $651 million for fiscal years 2024 through 2029, replacing the previous $1.047 billion annual amount for 2006-2009. This bill directly affects state and local police departments that apply for these grants to support community policing initiatives. The key change is the reduced funding level for the program's next six-year authorization period.
