Carter Introduces Legislation to Help Local Law Enforcement Recruit and Retain Officers

Position: Representative Carter introduced legislation to expand the use of COPS grant funding to support law enforcement recruitment and retention efforts, arguing that current challenges in recruiting officers have increased overtime costs and reduced police presence.

The legislation will allow COPS grantees to use funding for recruiting new law enforcement officers and retaining current police. Representative John Carter (TX-31) introduced the Recruit and Retain Act to help local law enforcement recruit and retain police officers. The legislation will allow COPS grantees to use funding for recruiting new law enforcement officers and retaining current police. “Washington Democrats disparaging remarks against law enforcement and the defund the police movement made recruiting and retaining police officers almost impossible,” said Representative Carter. “As a result, overtime costs are higher, there are less police on our streets, and police officers are stretched thin. Whether it’s a small town or big city, departments are struggling to recruit and keep officers. My bill will allow COPS grants to be used to recruit new officers and keep existing police. We’ve seen what the defund movement has done to our nation’s police officers, it's time to give them the support they need to keep our communities safe.” Related News Representative Carter Secures $1.6 Million for Bell County Diversion Center May 20, 2024 | Posted in Press Releases Carter Statement on H.R. 7910 June 8, 2022 | Posted in Press Releases Carter's Language Prompts Army to Implement New Policy Regarding Juvenile-on-Juvenile Sexual Crimes June 18, 2021 | Posted in Press Releases Rep.

Carter Statement on H.R. 7910

Position: Representative Carter opposes H.R. 7910, characterizing it as unconstitutional gun control that strips Second Amendment rights without addressing root causes like mental health and school safety. He advocates for bipartisan solutions focused on mental health services and law enforcement rather than gun restrictions.

(Washington, DC)- Representative John Carter (TX-31) released the following statement after the House voted on unconstitutional gun control measures. “What the country needs now more than ever are measured, responsible, passable approaches that protect law-abiding citizens’ Constitutional rights, while keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. Over the last two weeks, we’ve continually heard “do something” from our Democrat colleagues, but instead of just doing something, we need to institute changes that will be effective, like increasing the safety of our kids at school and comprehensively addressing the root cause of the mental health crisis in America. “This politically motivated messaging bill was created without any Republican input, strips law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights and fails to expand access to mental health services or fund additional law enforcement. We’ve seen gun control fail in liberal cities across the country and this legislation continues those failed policies. Instead, we need to focus on effective bipartisan solutions that can pass both chambers and be signed into law.”
