Bill > HB1817

This bill amends the Illinois Police Training Act to modify requirements for law enforcement officer in-service training. Specifically, the bill changes the mandatory training cycle from every 3 years to every 2 years and mandates that officers complete at least 30 hours of training during each cycle. The training is designed to provide officers with knowledge about use of force policies and laws, equip them with de-escalation tactics and skills to prevent or minimize unnecessary force, and ensure appropriate supervision and accountability. The required training must include at least 12 hours of hands-on, scenario-based role-playing and at least 6 hours of instruction specifically focused on use of force. These changes aim to enhance police training and potentially improve interactions between law enforcement and the public by emphasizing skill development and understanding of force-related policies.
