Bill > HB3134

This bill establishes the "Missouri Green-to-Blue Bridge Program" within the department of public safety, which will allow members of the U.S. Armed Forces or National Guard who have earned a diploma from the United States Army Military Police School (USAMPS) with specific Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) 31A or 31B, and who have completed One Station Unit Training (OSUT), to receive credit towards qualifying for the Missouri Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) examination. The POST commission is authorized to create a curriculum for this program, ensuring it provides sufficient training hours and points to allow these individuals to sit for the POST exam, and may also seek to fulfill Department of Defense requirements. A valid USAMPS diploma issued within three years of application, or from the date of honorable discharge if active duty was served after earning the diploma, will exempt qualified individuals from redundant training in general law enforcement and related tasks, as these are considered mastered through the USAMPS curriculum. The POST commission will regularly consult with the Missouri Army National Guard provost marshal to maximize credit for USAMPS training, particularly in areas like firearms, defensive tactics, medical training, criminal investigation, and driver training. The department of public safety is empowered to create necessary rules and regulations for the program's administration, with specific provisions regarding their effectiveness and compliance with chapter 536 of Missouri statutes.
