Bill > HR3372

This bill establishes a comprehensive scenario-based training program for law enforcement personnel aimed at improving police interactions and professional skills. The Attorney General, through the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, will develop a training curriculum within one year that covers critical areas including community-police relations, officer safety, de-escalation techniques, crisis intervention, use of force, and critical decision-making. The curriculum will be developed in consultation with law enforcement associations, community organizations, and national security agencies, and will include a certification process for entities implementing the training. The bill creates a grant program allowing States, local governments, tribal governments, and other entities to access and implement this training curriculum, with grant recipients required to submit reports on the benefits and challenges of the training. Importantly, the bill does not authorize additional funding, instead requiring the Department of Justice to use existing unobligated funds. The legislation defines key terms such as "scenario-based training" (interactive simulations replicating real-life situations) and establishes reporting requirements for both grant recipients and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, including annual reports to Congress detailing the extent and impact of the training program.
