Assessments
The promise was to introduce bipartisan legislation for both local law enforcement and fire departments, not necessarily to enact it. Landsman introduced H.R. 5403 in the 119th Congress to expand COPS grant uses for law-enforcement recruitment and retention, and H.R. 9606 in the 118th Congress to expand SAFER grant uses for firefighter recruitment and retention. Both actions occurred while he was serving as a federal representative and match the promised federal funding-program mechanism, so the commitment is delivered in the same term even though the bills had not passed.
