Law Enforcement Training for Mental Health Crisis Response Act of 2025
This bill establishes a federal grant program to fund mental health crisis response training for law enforcement and corrections officers. It provides up to $10 million annually for state, local, and tribal agencies to cover training costs, including travel and lodging, for officers responding to mental health crises. The training must be evidence-based, developed with healthcare professionals and people with lived mental health experience, and cover de-escalation, empathy, community resources, and safety protocols. Agencies applying must demonstrate current training gaps, officer safety records, and how the training will reduce injuries to officers and the public during mental health emergencies. The grants are supplemental to existing funding and require annual reporting on training participation and outcomes.
