Problem: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Officer Dale Claxton Bullet
Resistant Police Protective Equipment Act of 1999''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.

(a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
(1) Officer Dale Claxton of the Cortez, Colorado, Police
Department was shot and killed by bullets that passed through
the windshield of his police ear after he stopped a stolen
truck, and his life may have been saved if his police car had
been equipped with bullet resistant equipment;
(2) the number of law enforcement officers who are killed
in the line of duty would significantly decrease if every law
enforcement officer in the United States had access to
additional bullet resistant equipment;
(3) according to studies, between 1985 and 1994, 709 law
enforcement officers in the United States were feloniously
killed in the line of duty;
(4) the Federal Bureau of Investigation estimates that the
risk of fatality to law enforcement officers while not wearing
bullet resistant equipment, such as an armor vest, is 14 times
higher than for officers wearing an armor vest;
(5) according to studies, between 1985 and 1994, bullet-
resistant materials helped save the lives of more than 2,000
law enforcement officers in the United States;
(6) the Executive Committee for Indian Country Law
Enforcement Improvements reports that violent crime in Indian
country has risen sharply despite a decrease in the national
crime rate, and has concluded that there is a ''public safety
crisis in Indian country''.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to save lives of law
enforcement officers by helping State, local, and tribal law
enforcement agencies provide officers with bullet resistant equipment
and video cameras.
