November 7, 2025
Due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, legislative activity on Capitol Hill has largely come to a halt. Most congressional hearings and markups have been postponed, and federal agencies are operating under limited capacity.
The IACP continues to closely monitor developments related to the shutdown and its potential impact on policing programs, grant operations, and other federal activities.
At this time, there are no new legislative updates to report. Regular updates will resume once Congress enacts legislation to fund the government, and normal operations resume.
IACP remains committed to ensuring the voice of the policing profession is heard at the highest levels of government. IACP’s advocacy is grounded in the needs of those serving on the front lines. We will continue to keep you informed as advocacy efforts progress and new opportunities arise. If you have any questions about IACP’s advocacy efforts or would like to connect further, please contact IACP’s Legislative Affairs team at legaffairs@theiacp.org.
