Evidence
Sponsor: Rep. Fitzpatrick, Brian K. [R-PA-1] (Introduced 01/22/2026). Latest Action: House - 01/22/2026 Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. Tracker: This bill has the status Introduced.
Congressman Fitzpatrick unveiled the bipartisan Fuel the Force Act with more than 30 police chiefs, frontline officers, union leaders, and public safety officials. The release says the legislation was developed with law enforcement professionals and endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police and the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association.
Representative Brian Fitzpatrick and three bipartisan cosponsors introduced the Law Enforcement Scenario-Based Training for Safety and De-escalation Act, described as bipartisan legislation aimed at improving officer readiness, enhancing public trust, and making communities safer.
The release says Fitzpatrick and Golden introduced the Defund Cities That Defund The Police Act, which would prevent federal taxpayer dollars from going to state and local governments that dismantle or significantly cut funding for law enforcement without valid financial justification.
Assessments
Evidence shows Fitzpatrick has taken concrete action consistent with the promise by introducing bipartisan legislation framed as police reform while explicitly backing law enforcement, including de-escalation training and other police-support measures. However, the cited bills were introduced and referred to committee, with no evidence here that any of these reforms were enacted or produced a completed policy outcome. Because the promise is about supporting a policy approach rather than guaranteeing passage, his active sponsorship and advocacy merit credit, but the lack of enacted reform prevents a full delivered rating.
