The U.S. House of Representatives approved a concurrent resolution expressing gratitude for local law enforcement and calling on states to recognize a police officer’s right to legal counsel when under investigation, as part of its observance of National Police Week.

House Concurrent Resolution 40 (CR 40) also calls on states to adopt a bill of rights for police officers and denounces calls by “leftist activists and progressive politicians” to defund or dismantle police.
