SEC. 3. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) There is a lack of reliable data and informa-
tion on the amount and types of weapons and equip-
ment that law enforcement agencies purchase using 
Federal funding, and the use and deployment of 
those weapons and equipment. 
(2) The Federal Government lacks reliable data 
and information about the number, composition, and 
deployment of Special Weapons and Tactics teams 
(referred to in this section as ‘‘SWAT teams’’). 
(3) According to estimates, the percentage of 
small towns in the United States that had SWAT 
teams grew from 20 percent in the 1980s to 80 per-
cent in the mid-2000s. 
(4) According to estimates, the number of 
SWAT team raids per year grew from 3,000 in the 
1980s to 45,000 in the mid-2000s. 
(5) The majority of SWAT team deployments 
are for the purpose of executing a warrant.

(6) In 2014, the Federal Government provided 
more than $2,000,000,000 in grants and equipment 
to law enforcement agencies. 
(7) In 2013 and 2014, the Department of De-
fense provided excess Mine Resistant Ambush Pro-
tected vehicles (referred to in this section as 
‘‘MRAPs’’) to 624 local law enforcement agencies 
for free. 
(8) MRAPs can weigh up to 17 tons and cost 
up to $600,000, and are known to damage road sur-
faces due to their weight. 
(9) State and local governments that are re-
sponsible for oversight of their law enforcement 
agencies are not always aware of equipment and 
grant funding that the law enforcement agencies ob-
tain from the Federal Government.
