Alzheimer’s Law Enforcement Education Act of 2025

# Alzheimer's Law Enforcement Education Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would establish educational and training programs to help law enforcement officers better respond to situations involving people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. The legislation aims to improve how police interact with individuals experiencing cognitive decline, with the goal of preventing harm and ensuring safer outcomes during emergency calls and encounters. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily impact law enforcement agencies and officers across the country who would receive training, as well as people with Alzheimer's and dementia and their families.

Police departments would need to implement or incorporate the education programs, and individuals with these conditions would potentially benefit from more informed, sensitive police responses. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 3389 is in committee, meaning it has been introduced in the House but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full chamber. The bill was sponsored by Representative Vern Buchanan (R-FL).
