(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 
feloniously killed in the line of duty. 
(3) Nearly 30 percent of police officer killings 
in 2022 were caused by unprovoked attacks or am-
bushes 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 
circumstances surrounding violent attacks and am-
bush attacks on law enforcement officers is vital for 
the provision of needed Federal resources to Fed-
eral, State, and local law enforcement officers. 
(6) Police suffer assaults and other offenses 
that do not rise to the level of Law Enforcement Of-
ficers Killed and Assaulted or National Incident- 
Based Reporting System reporting due to the fre-
quency of such incidents, lower risk to officers, and 
minimal administrative resources to report such fre-
quent events. 
(7) The mental health of law enforcement offi-
cers 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 soli-
darity 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 Partner-
ship 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)) 
requires the Attorney General to ‘‘acquire, collect, 
classify, and preserve national data on Federal 
criminal offenses as part of the Uniform Crime Re-
ports’’ and requires all Federal departments and 
agencies that investigate criminal activity to ‘‘report 
details about crime within their respective jurisdic-
tion to the Attorney General in a uniform matter 
and on a form prescribed by the Attorney General’’.
