Bill > SB1368

This bill appropriates specific funds from the peace officer training equipment fund for law enforcement equipment and training in fiscal year 2025-2026. Specifically, the bill allocates $200,000 to the Flagstaff Police Department for pepper ball and pepper ball weapons, which are less-lethal projectile weapons used for crowd control or subduing individuals; $328,000 to the Flagstaff Police Department for a public safety training simulator, which is likely a high-tech training tool that allows officers to practice decision-making and response scenarios in a controlled, virtual environment; and $700,000 to the Glendale Police Department for two public safety training simulators. An important provision of the bill exempts these appropriations from the standard state law (section 35-190) that would typically require unspent funds to be returned to the general fund at the end of the fiscal year, meaning these funds can be carried over and used beyond the specified fiscal year if not fully expended.
