Law Enforcement Tribute Act

The Law Enforcement Tribute Act authorizes the Department of Justice to provide federal grants to state, local, and tribal governments for the creation of permanent tributes to honor fallen or disabled public safety officers. These grants, capped at $150,000 per recipient, are designed to cover up to half the cost of establishing memorials or commemorative programs within local communities. For citizens, this legislation facilitates the development of local landmarks and ceremonies that recognize the service and sacrifice of police officers, firefighters, and other emergency responders.
