Executive Summary

House Resolution 1226 is a congressional resolution introduced in the 118th Congress that seeks to memorialize law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty. The resolution is a formal expression of respect and remembrance rather than a legislative act that creates or changes law. It was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary but did not advance further and ultimately failed or expired. The resolution falls under the policy area of Crime and Law Enforcement and aims to honor the sacrifices made by law enforcement personnel.

Bottom Line
