Update on Our Priorities

As of Aug. 20, 2025

On or off the job, public safety professionals need protection

Congress is considering two bills to support public safety professionals. The Chief Herbert D. Proffitt Act (S. 911) would expand public safety officer benefits to include retired law enforcement officers who are hurt or killed in a targeted attack because of their past service in law enforcement. And the Improving Police Critical Aid for Responding to Emergencies (CARE) Act (S. 1595) would equip more law enforcement officers with quality trauma kits to respond to life-threatening injuries.

The U.S. Senate already passed these commonsense, bipartisan bills and we urge the House of Representatives to approve them as soon as possible. We're on the front lines defending the public, and we expect our leaders in Washington to have our backs by supporting these important pieces of legislation.
