WASHINGTON D.C....Representative Lou Correa (D-CA) voted in favor of H.R. 2240, the Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act of 2025, and released the following statement: 

“Public safety officers across the country are experiencing an increase in violence while in the line of duty. This legislation will help Congress better understand the nature and number of these attacks, how they can be better reported, and what resources are available to support our officers in the wake of these events,” Correa said. “We owe it to our public safety officers to ensure they have the tools necessary to keep themselves and our communities safe while in the line of duty. The only way to do that is by understanding what services are needed, and where, so that we can better support those protecting our neighborhoods.”
