AI Summary
This bill proposes to establish a distinct Police Chief Standards and Accreditation Committee to develop and implement procedures for police chief certification reform and improvement. It creates a new certification process for police chiefs, separate from the process for regular police officers, with four levels of certification: temporary, provisional, initial, and professional. The bill recognizes the need to raise the level of competence and management abilities for police chiefs, while providing a reasonable period for qualified officers to seek promotion and for existing police chiefs to meet the new standards. The goal is to improve the professional quality of police chiefs and the respect they have in their communities.
