Summary

A Member of Congress can give a State and Local Law Enforcement Badge to a recipient who lives in that member’s district. If a Senator and a Representative both want to give the same badge, they must do it together. If no Member chooses to present the badge, the Attorney General or someone the Attorney General names will give it. The presenting Member’s office can set up the presentation. If both Members present, they must make joint arrangements. The State and Local Board will help the congressional office arrange the presentation and will make arrangements when Members do not.
