Fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement.

Evidence
Law Enforcement: "Max knows how important law enforcement is in keeping our families safe. While radical Democrats want to defund and degrade our law enforcement on the front lines, Max will fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement."
The legislation advances key priorities, including: "Supporting law enforcement and combating fentanyl with increased funding for the DEA, stronger tools to fight drug trafficking, and enhanced efforts to protect children from exploitation."
The delegation's bipartisan Enhancing COPS Hiring Program Grants for Local Law Enforcement Act "would expand the COPS Hiring Program to allow local law enforcement agencies to utilize program grants for recruitment and retention bonuses."
This bill allows funds under the Community Oriented Policing Services grant program to be used to provide bonuses for the recruitment and retention of law enforcement officers or career law enforcement officers.
Recipient: City of Brecksville. Project Title: Brecksville Police Department Equipment & Vehicle Replacement & Enhancement Project. Amount Requested: $638,413.09. The funding will be used to replace several police vehicles, critical in-car video Cameras, mobile data terminals, mobile Radios, radar units, and radar speed signs for public safety. Recipient: Independence Police Department. Project Title: Independence Police Department Vehicle Modernization. Amount Requested: $640,000. The funding will be used to procure police vehicles and equipment necessary for public safety.
"Congressman Max Miller (OH-07) officially secured over $18 million in FY26 Community Project Funding (CPF) through the 11 appropriations bills now signed into law." The listed awards include Brecksville Police Department equipment and vehicle replacement and Independence Police Department vehicle modernization.
Assessments
Miller promised to fight for increased funding and support for law enforcement. The evidence shows both concrete efforts and enacted results during the same term: he requested police-focused community project funding, co-introduced legislation to expand COPS grant uses for recruitment and retention bonuses, voted for an appropriations package described as increasing law-enforcement-related funding, and later announced enacted FY26 community project funding that included police equipment and vehicle modernization projects. Because the promised outcome was framed as advocacy for increased funding/support rather than passage of a specific bill or nationwide funding target, the enacted district police funding is sufficient to count as delivered.
