Congresswomen Deborah Ross (NC-02), Valerie Foushee (NC-04), and Emilia Sykes (OH-13) introduced the Supporting Women with Career Opportunities in Policing Services (COPS) Act of 2026, which would incentivize more women to join law enforcement by revising biased hiring practices and establishing standards for the retention and promotion of female officers.
Evidence
Ross said she, Valerie Foushee, and Emilia Sykes introduced the Supporting Women with Career Opportunities in Policing Services (COPS) Act of 2026. The bill would incentivize more women to join law enforcement by revising biased hiring practices and creating standards for retention and promotion of female officers.
Assessments
The promise was to introduce legislation increasing opportunities for women in law enforcement. Evidence shows Deborah K. Ross, along with Valerie Foushee and Emilia Sykes, introduced the Supporting Women with Career Opportunities in Policing Services (COPS) Act of 2026 on May 14, 2026. Because the promised action was introduction of legislation rather than enactment, this constitutes full delivery in office during the same term.
