Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 82 (Thursday, May 14, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 82 (Thursday, May 14, 2026)] [House] [Page H3470] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] NATIONAL POLICE WEEK AND THE COPS REAUTHORIZATION (Mr. WHITESIDES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. WHITESIDES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call for the reauthorization of the Community Oriented Policing Services Program, better known as the COPS Program, an effort I am proud to lead alongside my colleagues Representatives Harder and Rutherford. During National Police Week, we recognize the officers who protect our communities every day. When we talk about law enforcement, we aren't just talking about a badge or a uniform. We are talking about our neighbors. The COPS Program is vital because it helps ensure that local departments have the officers and the resources that they need. By providing funding for hiring, this program helps departments build stronger relationships and respond more effectively to local needs. It also allows officers to build trust in the communities they serve and be a familiar presence in neighborhood meetings, schools, and local events. Our local officers give their all because these are their homes too, and it is our duty to ensure they have the resources and the personnel they need to do their jobs effectively. I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan reauthorization. Let's support the officers who work every day to keep us safe. ____________________
