In a NAPO victory, the Senate passed the Fighting PTSD Act (S. 825) by voice vote on June 10. This legislation would require the Attorney General to propose a program for making treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder available to all federal, state, and local public safety officers.

The Senate also passed by voice vote these National Police Week bills:

• The Promoting Police Leadership Act (S. 4394), which would require the DOJ to create a broad training curricula framework for commander-level personnel in consultation with state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies, academic institutions, and at NAPO’s insistence, representatives of rank-and-file officers.
• The Carla Walker Act (S. 1890), which would fund a pilot program for the DOJ to use forensic genetic genealogy to investigate, solve, and prosecute cold cases and other hard-to solve crimes.
• The Tribal Warrant Fairness Act (S. 3041), which would give the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) authority to execute arrest warrants on behalf of Tribal law enforcement and allow the USMS to help Tribal law enforcement search for missing children.

On June 10, NAPO met with Administration officials, Senate Banking Committee staff, the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA), the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), and the National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys (NAAUSA) to continue discussing our concerns with the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (H.R. 3633), which establishes regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrencies and digital assets, and is a priority for President Trump. The current language could create gaps in oversight and accountability that sophisticated criminal actors may exploit and make investigations more difficult, limit the ability to trace illicit financial activity, and introduce new obstacles to holding offenders accountable. If the proposed regulations for crypto blockchains cannot be tightened up, then enforcement measures in the bill must be strengthened to assist law enforcement counter illicit financial tools.

NAPO President Mick McHale was honored by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and inducted into the 2026 Hall of Fame in Tallahassee, Florida with four other law enforcement leaders on June 6th. McHale is the Senior Vice President of the Florida Police Benevolent Association (PBA) and the President of the Southwest Florida PBA.

On June 9, the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) released the Fiscal 2026 Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) for nearly $700 million in grants to support state and local law enforcement. The released NOFOs include: COPS Hiring Program, Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (LEMHWA) Program, Preparing for Active Shooter Situations (PASS) Program, Anti-Heroin Task Force Program, Anti-Methamphetamine Program, and STOP School Violence Prevention Program.
