Bill > HB2675

This bill requires constables in Arizona to be certified by the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST), which is a state agency that sets standards for law enforcement officers. This means that elected or appointed constables will now need to meet specific training and qualification requirements, similar to other peace officers, to have the authority of a peace officer. The bill also clarifies that constables must complete a mandatory basic training course within six months of election and attend additional approved training annually, with the AZPOST board responsible for approving these training programs and certifying constables who complete them.
