  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.
  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.
