This bill, the Law Enforcement Training for Mental Health Crisis Response Act of 2023, aims to provide grants to state, local, and tribal law enforcement and corrections agencies for behavioral health crisis response training. The key provisions include: 1) reserving up to $10 million from the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act to fund the grant program; 2) establishing standards for training programs that teach officers how to respond effectively and safely to mental health crises; 3) requiring grant applications to include information on the agency's current training, past incidents, and estimated costs; and 4) restricting grant funds from being used for administrative costs and requiring grantees to submit reports on the use of funds and the number of officers trained.
