WASHINGTON— This National Police Week, Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson voted in favor of several critical pieces of pro-law enforcement legislation that highlight support for America’s brave men and women in blue.

“National Police Week is a time to recognize, remember, and honor the brave men and women who serve our communities every day,” said Rep. Simpson. “Police officers in Idaho and throughout our country play a vital role in protecting public safety and responding in times of crisis. Their work is irreplaceable, and they will always have my full support. I was proud to reaffirm that commitment by supporting legislation on the House floor to ensure the men and women serving in communities across the country are supported.”

The National Police Week of 2025 legislation includes:

• H.R. 2240 - Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act. This bill requires the Department of Justice to report to Congress about violent attacks on law enforcement officers, the efficacy of current data collection related to violent attacks, and the efficacy of programs intended to provide protective equipment and wellness resources to law enforcement officers.
• H.R. 2243 - LEOSA Reform Act. This bill allows qualified active and retired law enforcement officers to carry concealed firearms and ammunition in school zones, national parks, and certain federal facilities, as well as on state, local, and private property that is otherwise open to the public.
• H.R. 2255 - Federal Law Enforcement Officer Service Weapon Purchase Act of 2025. This bill allows current and retired federal law enforcement officers in good standing to purchase their retired service weapons.
