AI Summary

This bill creates the Community Law Enforcement Enhancement Fund, which provides grants to municipal police departments and county sheriff departments for two purposes: 1) purchasing equipment, training, and establishing procedures and facilities for peace officers to wear and operate body cameras, and 2) recruiting, training, and partially funding the first-year salary and benefits of a community mental health advocate position within law enforcement agencies. The bill appropriates $5 million from the state's general fund to the Department of Public Safety for deposit into the fund for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2022. The fund is intended to be used to enhance community-based law enforcement services through initiatives related to body cameras and mental health support.
