Congressman Williams Introduces the Bulletproof Law Enforcement Vehicles Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Roger Williams (TX-25) introduced the Bulletproof Law Enforcement Vehicles Act, legislation that amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to allow federal funds to be used for vehicle security enhancement upgrades, including bulletproof windows for law enforcement vehicles.
The legislation comes during National Police Week and supports federal, state, and local law enforcement officers by ensuring agencies have greater flexibility to improve vehicle protection as threats against officers continue to rise.
"During National Police Week, I am proud to introduce the Bulletproof Law Enforcement Vehicles Act," said Congressman Williams. "We honor the sacrifices of our fallen officers and recognize the unwavering commitment of those who continue to serve and protect our communities. As attacks on law enforcement and their vehicles increase, Congress must ensure police forces have the tools they need to adequately protect their officers."

Background:
The Bulletproof Law Enforcement Vehicles Act authorizes certain federal financial assistance to be used for vehicle security enhancement upgrades, including bulletproof windows.
As attacks against law enforcement officers and their vehicles increase, many departments face barriers when using federal grant funding for critical safety upgrades. This legislation ensures law enforcement agencies, including ICE, can access federal resources to improve vehicle security and better protect officers in the line of duty.
Congressman Roger Williams' legislation was joined by Congressman Wesley Hunt (R-Texas), Congressman Mike Haridopolos (R-FL), and Congressman Pat Fallon (R-TX) as original cosponsors.
Supporting Organizations: The Texas Municipal Police Association (TMPA), Police Officers' Defense Coalition, Fraternal Order of Police.
