Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
This bill requires the Attorney General, working with FBI and NIJ officials, to produce three reports within 270 days: (1) a detailed report on ambushes and violent attacks against law enforcement, (2) a report examining adding a new reporting category for aggressive or trauma-inducing non-crime incidents against officers, and (3) a report on law enforcement mental health and wellness resources and needs. Each report must analyze existing data collection, training, Federal and State responses, disparities in reporting, and offer recommendations; the agencies must consult relevant stakeholders.
Progressive worries data use may expand policing; conservatives favor deterrence focus.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a well-scoped, specific reporting mandate that clearly defines problems to be studied and enumerates detailed report elements, responsible entities, and deadlines, but it omits funding, explicit data-access requirements from non-Federal actors, and follow-up or implementation provisions for recommendations.

The bill is report- and analysis-focused and does not itself create new criminal penalties or authorize program funding.
Administrative, bipartisan-friendly measures with low fiscal impact typically clear committees and floor votes, though amendments or polarization around policing could slow progress.
