Evidence
The official House homepage for Rep. Chris Pappas features the item “Pappas Reintroduces Bipartisan Legislation to Help Small Police Departments Strengthen Community-Oriented Policing,” indicating he took a concrete legislative step on the underlying issue.
Assessments
The promise was to create a specific $10 million DOJ grant program for small and mid-sized police departments to earn or renew accreditation. The evidence shows Chris Pappas reintroduced bipartisan legislation on the issue, which counts as a serious legislative effort and material action toward the promise. But there is no evidence here that the grant program was enacted, funded, or otherwise delivered. Under the stated rules, a serious attempt that failed to produce the promised outcome should be scored as never with effort credit.
