I don't like this new law for cops. It's gonna make things harder for them and not help at all. Why do they need more data? They should focus on other things instead. #HRBill2240 #NotForMe

I think this bill is a step in the right direction for improving the safety and wellness of law enforcement officers. It's important to have data to better understand the challenges they face and how to support them. I believe this bill will have a positive impact on our communities and the officers who serve and protect us.

I can't believe they're trying to push this through. It's ridiculous how they think this will actually help anyone. Just another way for them to control us. SMH.

This bill is a step in the right direction for improving the safety and wellness of law enforcement officers. It is disheartening to see the struggles that many officers face on a daily basis, and this bill aims to address those issues. It is important to prioritize the well-being of those who protect and serve our communities. Ultimately, it is the officers themselves who will benefit the most from this legislation.

I think this bill is a good idea because it will help improve the safety and wellness of law enforcement officers. It will also provide important data that can be used to make informed decisions about officer training and support. Who else do you think will benefit from this bill?

I think this bill is good for police officers. It helps them stay safe and healthy. This bill collects data to see what kind of dangers they face on the job. It also helps them get the support they need. I support this bill because it helps keep our officers safe. Did you know this bill was introduced in 2019?
