DOJ listed state and local grants at $4.194 billion for FY2024 enacted and $3.452 billion for FY2025 enacted.

DOJ's budget table lists community policing at $287 million enacted for FY2019 and $330 million enacted for FY2020.
Assessments
Rosen promised to push for increased police resources, not to enact a single named bill. During her Senate term, federal community-policing and law-enforcement grant funding increased and remained substantial, including COPS funding rising from FY2019 to FY2020 and later FY2022 appropriations funding COPS at $511.744 million. Rosen voted for the FY2022 omnibus that enacted those resources and later supported FY2024 appropriations that her office said secured more than $7 million for Nevada law-enforcement projects. Because the promised outcome was increased resources for police and it occurred with Rosen's same-term votes and claimed project-funding work, this is delivered in the same term.
Rosen promised to push for increased police resources in a federal Senate context. During her first Senate term, federal COPS/community-policing funding increased from FY2019 to FY2020, and later FY2022 appropriations provided $511.744 million for COPS programs plus related officer safety, hiring, training, tribal law enforcement, and equipment funding. Rosen voted for the FY2021 and FY2022 consolidated appropriations packages that funded these law-enforcement resources, giving her direct legislative credit as a senator for enacted increases during the same term.
