I Highlighted Police Week and Passed Legislation to Improve Mental Health Services for Officers

Yesterday marked the start of #NationalPoliceWeek. To all of our men and women in blue, thank you for standing on the front lines to protect our communities. A couple of weeks ago, Senator Donnelly and I introduced the “Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act”. Today, that bill passed the Senate and will now move on to the House of Representatives.

This bill works with the relevant federal agencies, mental health providers, and broader law enforcement community to offer opportunities for care. When our police force is healthy and strong, our communities are healthy and strong too. You can watch the video by clicking on the photo below.

Thank you for the continued privilege to serve you in the U.S. Senate. My mission is to fight on behalf of Hoosiers and the interests that are unique to our state. I look forward to working with you, and sharing our progress, in the days ahead. Until then…

In Service,
