Crime and Law Enforcement

Introduced
Adopted by the House

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution serves to honor and remember law enforcement officers across the United States. It specifically acknowledges the 363 officers killed in the line of duty during 2025. The document recognizes the importance of law enforcement in pursuing justice and maintaining public trust. Additionally, it highlights the historical context of Peace Officers Memorial Day and National Police Week. Finally, the resolution expresses support for the safety, equipment, and training of these officers.

The House: a fast-track vote, needing two-thirds to passPassed 418–2
The House sets aside its normal procedure to move quickly: no amendments, little debate, and a two-thirds bar instead of a simple majority. It is used for measures expected to be uncontroversial, so a bill that fails here failed despite broad expectations that it would not.
