Enhancing COPS Hiring Program Grants for Local Law Enforcement Act - Our law enforcement continues to struggle with hiring and retention of officers to protect our communities. To help with this critical issue, Mike Carey worked on and introduced this legislation as an original cosponsor to authorize law enforcement agencies to use COPS grants to recruit and retain law enforcement officers.

Carey says he helped introduce legislation to let law enforcement agencies use COPS grants for recruiting and retaining officers.

Evidence

Member Activity lists H.R.5403, "Enhancing COPS Hiring Program Grants for Local Law Enforcement Act," with sponsor Rep. Landsman, Greg. The entry shows the bill was introduced in the House on 2025-09-16 and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Carey's Congress.gov member activity page includes the COPS-hiring-program bill tied to local law enforcement, but only at the introduction/committee-referral stage. That is concrete effort, not delivery.

The bill page lists Rep. Landsman as sponsor, shows the latest action as referral to the House Judiciary Committee on 2025-09-16, and says the bill has the status Introduced. The policy area is Crime and Law Enforcement.

The underlying bill matching the claim remained only introduced and was not enacted, passed, or otherwise completed. This supports an unresolved status rather than delivery.

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

The available evidence shows only legislative effort during Carey's current House term, not a completed policy change. The cited COPS-related bill, H.R. 5403, was introduced on September 16, 2025 and referred to committee, with no passage or enactment shown. That means the promised authorization has not yet been delivered. Because Carey appears connected to the measure on his Congress.gov member activity page, there is some credit for effort, but the outcome remains pending rather than fulfilled or definitively failed.
