‘‘and the average annual fiscal cost of each;’’.

SEC. 614. SUPPORTING SAFE LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:

risky situations and encounter tragedy on a regular

basis. Some, such as the police who responded to the 
carnage of the Sandy Hook Elementary School, wit-
ness horror that stays with them for the rest of their 
lives. Others are physically injured in carrying out 
their duties, sometimes needlessly, through mistakes 
made in high stress situations. The recent notable 
deaths of officers are stark reminders of the risk of-
ficers face. As a result, physical, mental, and emo-
tional injuries plague many law enforcement agen-
cies. However, a large proportion of officer injuries 
and deaths are not the result of interaction with of-
fenders but the outcome of poor physical health due 
to poor nutrition, lack of exercise, sleep deprivation, 
and substance abuse. Yet these causes are often 
overlooked or given scant attention. Many other in-
juries and fatalities are the result of vehicular acci-
dents. The wellness and safety of law enforcement 
officers is critical not only to themselves, their col-
leagues, and their agencies, but also to public safety. 
(2) Officer suicide is also a problem. Police died 
from suicide 2.4 times as often as from homicides. 
And though depression resulting from traumatic ex-
periences is often the cause, routine work and life 
stressors—serving hostile communities, working long

shifts, lack of family or departmental support—are 
frequent motivators too. 
(3) According to estimates of the United States 
Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 100,000 law 
enforcement professionals are injured in the line of 
duty each year. Many are the result of assaults, 
which underscores the need for body armor, but 
most are due to vehicular accidents. 
(b) AUTHORIZED USES.—Funds obligated, but sub-
sequently unspent and deobligated, may remain available, 
to the extent provided in appropriations Acts, for use as 
specified under this section in ensuing fiscal years. The 
Attorney General shall take all practicable steps to use 
such funds as soon as practicable to carry out programs 
that are consistent with the purposes of this Act. Such 
programs include— 
(1) a national ‘‘Blue Alert’’ warning system to 
enlist the help of the public in finding suspects after 
a law enforcement officer is killed in the line of 
duty; 
(2) counseling and support services for family 
members of law enforcement officers who are killed 
in the line of duty; 
(3) national toll-free mental health hotline spe-
cifically for law enforcement officers, which is both

anonymous and peer-driven and has the ability and 
resources to refer the caller to professional help if 
needed; 
(4) continuing research in the efficacy and im-
plementation of an annual fitness, resilience, nutri-
tion, and mental health check, in recognition that 
many health problems afflicting law enforcement of-
ficers, notably cardiac issues, are cumulative; 
(5) expanding Federal pension plans and 
incentivizing State and local pension plans to recog-
nize fitness for duty exams as definitive evidence of 
valid duty or nonduty related disability in recogni-
tion of the fact that officers injured in the line of 
duty are often caught in limbo, without pay, unable 
to work but also unable to obtain benefits because 
‘‘fitness for duty’’ exams are not recognized as valid 
proof of disability and because they cannot receive 
Social Security; 
(6) implementing research-based findings into 
the number of hours an officer should work consecu-
tively and in total within a 24–48 hour period, in-
cluding special findings on the maximum number of 
hours an officer should work in a high-risk or high- 
stress environment (e.g. public demonstrations or 
emergency situations) by implementing those find-

worker in medium, high, and maximum security 
Federal prisons as well as Federal Medical Centers,

only, and providing incentives for State and law en-
