The Pathways to Policing Act aims to increase the number of law enforcement officers by providing grants for recruitment and training programs. It focuses on attracting candidates from diverse backgrounds to better serve their communities.
Pathways to Policing Act This bill authorizes the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services within the Department of Justice to award grants to states, local governments, and law enforcement agencies to support recruitment of law enforcement officers. In particular, these grants may be used for (1) marketing and recruitment campaigns to encourage candidates to seek careers in law enforcement; and (2) developing, operating, or expanding Pathways to Policing programs (e. g., programs that facilitate entry into full-time law enforcement positions for certain candidates).
