HCONRES 96 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Whereas the brave men and women in law enforcement work tirelessly and relentlessly to safeguard the communities they are sworn to protect, serving as the backbone of public safety across our Nation; Whereas law enforcement officers bear the critical responsibility of upholding the rule of law and
maintaining the safety, stability, and public order upon which our communities depend;
Whereas law enforcement officers routinely and selflessly risk their own lives and safety to combat crime, remove dangerous and lethal drugs from our streets, and stand in defense of the most vulnerable among us; Whereas law enforcement officers strengthen our communities through outreach, mentorship, crisis response, and countless daily acts of service that frequently go unrecognized; Whereas, from resolving neighborhood disputes to checking in on elderly residents and guiding youth programs, officers provide a quiet and steady presence that extends far beyond traditional law enforcement duties; Whereas rhetoric and policies from leftist activists and progressive politicians seek to defund or dismantle local police departments undermine public safety and place both officers and the communities they serve at greater risk; Whereas sanctuary city policies that restrict cooperation with Federal immigration authorities can compel local law enforcement agencies to divert already limited resources and actively encourage resentment toward local law enforcement; Whereas the Trump administration’s focus on restoring law and order has contributed to a notable decline in homicide rates, with levels reaching among the lowest recorded in over a century; Whereas drug overdose deaths in the United States have declined significantly, reaching their lowest levels since 2019; Whereas violent crime rates have declined significantly in major cities across the United States; and Whereas law enforcement officers deserve our deepest respect, unwavering support, and profound gratitude: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That Congress—
(1) appreciates and values the indispensable contributions that law enforcement provides to our communities and our country each and every day;
(2) recognizes the extraordinary sacrifice that law enforcement officers make to protect and serve their communities and their country; and
(3) expresses its profound and wholehearted support for the men and women of law enforcement.
