Statement
Issues: Criminal Justice
Today, Senator Rick Scott announced his co-sponsorship of the Supporting and Treating Officers In Crisis Act of 2019 to provide grant funding for law enforcement family-support services and allow grant recipients to use funds to establish suicide-prevention programs and mental health services for law enforcement officers.
Senator Rick Scott said, "Florida's decreasing crime rate -- now at a 47-year low -- is a reminder of the dedication and hard work of Florida's law enforcement officers. These brave men and women risk their lives to keep our communities safe, and we must always do everything we can to give them the support and resources they need."
