  Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to help America's law enforcement 
officers by introducing the Police Security Protection Act. This 
legislation provides police officers a tax credit for the purchase of 
armored vests.
  As recent events have reminded us, professional law enforcement 
officers put their lives on the line each and every day. Reducing the 
tax liability of law enforcement officers so they can afford armored 
vests is one of the best ways Congress can help and encourage these 
brave men and women. After all, an armored vest could literally make 
the difference between life or death for a police officer, I hope my 
colleagues will join me in helping our nation's law enforcement 
officers by cosponsoring the Police Security Protection Act.
