## Summary

**This resolution would establish a Bill of Rights for U.S. law enforcement officers that prioritizes _procedural protections during misconduct investigations_ and affirms support for policing.** - Officers would receive 10 enumerated rights. Examples include the right to counsel and a union representative during interviews, advance notice of allegations, protection from coercive or abusive questioning, access to hearings and evidence, and limits on disciplining an officer for invoking the right to remain silent unless immunity is provided. - The resolution would encourage dialogue between law enforcement and communities to improve public safety and foster respectful engagement. - It would formally condemn calls to defund, disband, dismantle, or abolish the police, signaling support for maintaining organized police services. - It would urge States to adopt similar Bills of Rights to extend these protections at the state level.
