Recommends that School Resource Officers (SROs) undergo yearly tactical training and a mental health screening.
Van Drew will support school resource officers receiving yearly tactical training and mental health screening.
Occurrences
Evidence
Van Drew introduced H.R. 2752, which would prioritize hiring and training veterans and retired law enforcement officers as school resource officers, and would authorize annual mental health screening and annual tactics-and-response training for SROs.
Assessments
Van Drew materially supported the promised policy by introducing H.R. 2752 in the 119th Congress. The bill directly addressed the promise by authorizing annual mental health screening and annual tactics-and-response training for school resource officers. However, Congress.gov lists the bill as only introduced and referred to committees on April 8, 2025, with no passage or enactment. Because the promised outcome was not delivered despite a serious legislative attempt, this is not fulfilled, but merits an effort badge.
