SOS Act of 2025

Bill 119 HR 1470, also known as the School Resource Officer Act, aims to amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 in order to provide funding for school resource officers. These officers are specially trained law enforcement personnel who work within schools to ensure the safety and security of students and staff.

The bill seeks to allocate federal funding to support the hiring and training of school resource officers, as well as to provide resources for ongoing professional development and support. The goal is to enhance school safety and security measures, as well as to improve relationships between law enforcement and the school community.

In addition to funding for school resource officers, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to school safety. This may include funding for security equipment, emergency preparedness training, and other initiatives aimed at preventing and responding to incidents of violence in schools. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1470 represents a bipartisan effort to address the issue of school safety and security by providing support for the presence of trained law enforcement personnel within schools. The bill aims to create a safer and more secure learning environment for students and staff, while also fostering positive relationships between law enforcement and the school community.
