Pathways to Policing Act
Introduced May 14, 2025 by Rep. Kelly Morrison
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
Pathways to Policing Act
This bill authorizes the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services within the Department of Justice to award grants to states, local governments, and law enforcement agencies to support recruitment of law enforcement officers. In particular, these grants may be used for (1) marketing and recruitment campaigns to encourage candidates to seek careers in law enforcement; and (2) developing, operating, or expanding Pathways to Policing programs (e.g., programs that facilitate entry into full-time law enforcement positions for certain candidates).
