Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to help America’s law
enforcement officers by introducing the Police Security Protection Act. This
legislation provides police officers with a tax credit for the purchase of armored
vests.
2002 Ron Paul 59:2
As recent events have reminded us, professional law
enforcement officers put their lives on the line each and every day.
Reducing the tax liability of law enforcement officers so they can afford
armored vests is one of the best ways Congress can help these brave men and women.
After all, an armored vest literally could make the difference between life or
death for a police officer, I hope my colleagues will join me in helping our
nation’s law enforcement officers by cosponsoring the Police Security Protection Act.
