More money for community policing grants

This bill would reauthorize the COPS on the Beat community policing grants. It would set about $1.16 billion each year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. The authorization would take effect upon enactment. Congress would still need to pass funding before grants are paid. Police agencies could apply under current program rules. If funded, communities could see more support for local policing.
