Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Improving Law Enforce-
ment Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act of 
2024’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) There has been a rise in anti-police rhetoric 
and a corresponding rise in violence against law en-
forcement officers. 
(2) In 2022, a total of 60 police officers were fe-
loniously killed in the line of duty. 
(3) Nearly 30 percent of police officer killings in 
2022 were caused by unprovoked attacks or ambushes 
on officers. 
(4) Law enforcement officers bravely put them-
selves at risk for the betterment of society. 
(5) A data collection that represents the full cir-
cumstances surrounding violent attacks and ambush 
attacks on law enforcement officers is vital for the 
provision of needed Federal resources to Federal, 
State, and local law enforcement officers. 
(6) Police suffer assaults and other offenses that 
do not rise to the level of Law Enforcement Officers

Killed and Assaulted or National Incident-Based Re-
porting System reporting due to the frequency of such 
incidents, lower risk to officers, and minimal admin-
istrative resources to report such frequent events. 
(7) The mental health of law enforcement officers 
has suffered due to overwork, recruitment issues, and 
the general stress of their work. 
(8) The people of the United States will always 
remember the victims of these hateful attacks against 
law enforcement officers and stand in solidarity with 
individuals affected by these senseless tragedies and 
incidents of hate that have affected law enforcement 
communities and their families. 
(9) The United States must demonstrate to its 
brave law enforcement officers that they are impor-
tant, valued, and respected. 
(10) Congress has made a commitment to help-
ing communities protect the lives of their police offi-
cers, as evidenced by the Bulletproof Vest Partnership 
Grant Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (Public 
Law 114–155; 130 Stat. 389) and other laws. 
(11) Subsection (c) of the Uniform Federal 
Crime Reporting Act of 1988 (34 U.S.C. 41303(c)) re-
quires the Attorney General to ‘‘acquire, collect, clas-
sify, and preserve national data on Federal criminal
