Which term describes a plan enabling officers to purchase homes in distressed areas with favorable terms?

• A. Officer Next Door
• B. Police Explorer
• C. Police Public Relations
• D. Crime Bill

Answer: (A)

This describes a government program designed to promote homeownership for public safety officers in neighborhoods that need revitalization, by offering homes at favorable terms to encourage officers to live in those communities and help stabilize areas.

The term that fits is Officer Next Door. It refers to a HUD initiative that allows eligible public safety officers to purchase HUD-owned homes in distressed or revitalization areas under discounted or favorable terms, supporting crime reduction and community integration.

The other options don’t fit because they relate to a youth program (Police Explorer), a department function or communications role (Police Public Relations), or broad legislation (Crime Bill) rather than a housing program for officers.
