Rep. Pou said the House-passed FY2026 spending package included $9,711,000 for 11 separate community projects in NJ-09. The release says the projects would 'equip our first responders,' 'help law enforcement secure the World Cup games,' and 'contribute immeasurably to public safety,' and lists funded items including Security Upgrades for FIFA World Cup, Public Safety Equipment, and First Responder Equipment.

Pou secured House-passed funding for multiple public-safety and first-responder projects, but the release itself says Senate ratification was still needed at that point.

Pou announced that the 2026 government spending bill package enacted that week included $14,494,000 for 15 community projects in NJ-09 and said the funds 'strengthen public safety.' The release states that with passage into law, she had secured 26 projects totaling $24,205,000, including public safety communications equipment and public safety/security upgrades for the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office.

This is the strongest official evidence that Pou helped deliver enacted federal funding for police/public-safety related projects in her district.

Pou said the Trump administration released $625 million of World Cup security funding after delay. She said 'Our local law enforcement and public safety officials... need real aid to guarantee a safe tournament' and noted the funding was enacted into law last summer.

Pou publicly pushed for release of enacted security funding that would aid law enforcement and public safety at World Cup host sites in her district.

In her Police Week newsletter, Pou wrote that 'one of my top policy goals was public safety' and that 'one of the best and most important ways to preserve public safety' is providing support to law enforcement officers and agencies, 'whether it be more funding, more training, or greater benefits.' She also said her first two bills were designed to help law enforcement officers.

This shows a clear policy commitment and concrete legislative activity in support of law enforcement, though it does not itself prove a funding increase was enacted.

Congress.gov's member activity page for Nellie Pou shows her sponsorship of public-safety-related bills such as H.R. 7448, the Modernizing and Improving the National Terrorism Advisory System Act, and other introduced legislation during the 119th Congress.

Official congressional records confirm Pou introduced public-safety legislation, which supports an effort finding, but this is not direct proof of increased police funding.
