Expressing support for law enforcement officers.

This concurrent resolution would express the sense of Congress in support of law enforcement officers. It would have Congress appreciate the contributions officers make to communities and the country, recognize the extraordinary sacrifices they make to protect and serve, and formally express Congress's wholehearted support for the men and women of law enforcement. The resolution also includes findings praising declining crime and homicide rates and criticizing policies the resolution characterizes as seeking to defund or dismantle police departments.

The resolution is symbolic and directed at no specific agency or population. Its operative effect reaches only the formal record of Congress. Law enforcement officers across the country are the subject of its praise, but no legal rights, duties, or benefits are created or changed for any person or entity.

As a concurrent resolution expressing the sense of Congress, this measure has no binding legal force and creates no new programs, requirements, or funding. Its effect is purely honorific — placing Congress's stated support for law enforcement into the legislative record.
