## Summary

**Would create a five-year pilot to fund local "veterans response teams" embedded in law enforcement to identify and link veterans in crisis with VA and community services.** It would let States, local, and Tribal governments apply for grants to build teams that train officers, coordinate with the VA, and respond 24/7. - Veterans: Teams would offer a military-service ID pin, ongoing contact opportunities, and direct referrals to VA services and Veterans Justice Outreach specialists. - Law enforcement: Agencies could use grants to appoint team leaders, train officers on PTSD and traumatic brain injury, and organize volunteer teams to respond around the clock. - Courts and jails: Teams would help identify veterans at court or detention intake and notify the VA so veterans can be routed to veterans courts or other services. - Community partners: Local VA offices, nonprofit veteran organizations, fire and emergency medical services, hospitals, and other agencies can join teams to share information and coordinate care. - Oversight: The Attorney General, through the COPS Office, would run the pilot and report to Congress on applicants, grants awarded, and average award amounts. The grant authority would last five years and funding is subject to appropriations for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
