 RESOLUTION

 Designating the week of October 5, 2025, through October 11, 2025, as 
 ``National Community Policing Week''.

Whereas police officers are indispensable members of the community who put their 
 lives on the line to protect others;
Whereas promoting strong relationships, founded in trust and mutual respect, 
 between law enforcement officers and the communities they serve helps 
 ensure the safe and effective execution of the law;
Whereas relationships developed through community policing help protect both law 
 enforcement officers and civilians;
Whereas law enforcement officers and communities that work together to address 
 public safety concerns can create lasting solutions to difficult 
 challenges;
Whereas community policing has helped produce reductions in both violent and 
 property crime;
Whereas events in recent years have sparked a nationwide call to improve the 
 interactions between law enforcement officers and the communities they 
 serve;
Whereas community policing facilitates peaceful dialogue, capable of fostering 
 understanding and trust, between law enforcement officers and civilians;
Whereas community policing informs the public about the challenges that law 
 enforcement officers face in executing their duties and provides law 
 enforcement officers insight into the concerns of community members;
Whereas a long-term commitment to community policing is necessary to eliminate 
 the underlying causes of crime;
Whereas the advancement of community policing should be supported to ensure that 
 State and local law enforcement agencies have necessary resources; and
Whereas community policing has been recognized as an important tool for 
 improving the relationship between law enforcement officers and the 
 communities they serve: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the Senate--

    (1) designates the week of October 5, 2025, through October 
 11, 2025, as ``National Community Policing Week''; and

    (2) supports community policing and encourages the people 
 of the United States, law enforcement agencies, and elected 
 officials to identify ways in which communities can improve 
 public safety, strengthen relationships, and build trust.
