The Commission will study key issues facing law enforcement – like substance abuse, homelessness, and mental illness.
The Commission will look at best practices for recruiting, training, and supporting law enforcement officers.
A report and recommendations will be delivered to the President within a year.
The President has made hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of surplus military equipment available to local law enforcement.
Shortly after taking office, President Trump signed an Executive Order to help prevent violence against law enforcement officers at the Federal, State, Tribal, and local level.
Attorney General Bill Barr will launch a new initiative to fight violent crime in the coming weeks.
