                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Whereas the brave men and women in local law enforcement work tirelessly to 
        protect the communities they serve;
Whereas local law enforcement officers are tasked with upholding the rule of law 
        and ensuring public safety;
Whereas local law enforcement officers selflessly put themselves in harm's way 
        to fight crime, get drugs off the streets, and protect the innocent;
Whereas defunding police narratives vilify and demonize local law enforcement 
        officers and put them at greater risk of danger;
Whereas local law enforcement officers take an oath to never betray the public 
        trust;
Whereas the local law enforcement community protects our streets, acknowledges 
        the rights of all Americans, and keeps citizens safe from harm;
Whereas local law enforcement officers are recognized for their public service 
        to all, knowing they face extremely dangerous situations while carrying 
        out their duties;
Whereas a healthy and collaborative relationship between local law enforcement 
        officers and the communities they serve is essential to creating 
        mutually respectful dialogue; and
Whereas local law enforcement officers deserve respect and profound gratitude: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) recognizes and appreciates the dedication and devotion 
        demonstrated by the men and women of local law enforcement who 
        keep the Nation's communities safe;
            (2) extends its gratitude to all local law enforcement 
        officers and their families for their sacrifice and service; 
        and
            (3) condemns calls to defund, disband, dismantle, or 
        abolish the police.

            Passed the House of Representatives May 14, 2024.

            Attest:
