Alexandria, VA – The National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) strongly supports the Law Enforcement and Crime Victims Support Package, a bipartisan amendment the Senate unanimously approved to the Fiscal Year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This important package will enhance officer safety, preserve critical resources for officer mental health and wellness programs, enhance law enforcement’s ability to crack down on those who use the internet to prey on our nation’s children, and support efforts to strengthen officer recruitment and retention. 

The inclusion of this package in the FY26 NDAA will support and give vital resources to state and local law enforcement, who play a significant role in our nation’s security, and gives them the tools to effectively protect our communities. Further, with President Trump rightfully focusing his attentions on ensuring the safety of our nation’s communities, the Law Enforcement and Crime Victims Support Package will significantly help our federal, state, and local law enforcement reduce crime and safeguard the public.

It is vital that the House accept the Senate’s amendment and support the inclusion of this pro-law enforcement and pro-public safety package in the FY26 NDAA. We call on House leadership, the House Judiciary Committee, and every member of the House to join us in supporting this amendment and illustrate they have the backs of our nation’s law enforcement officers.
