Bill > HF3440

This bill extends the availability of funds appropriated for law enforcement use of force training until June 30, 2027. These funds, totaling $250,000, are intended to reimburse eligible postsecondary schools that are certified to train peace officers, providing them with in-service training on the use of force, including deadly force. The training must meet specific requirements, such as being approved by the Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training, using scenario-based simulations with nonlethal ammunition, including instruction on stress effects, de-escalation, bias, and defensive tactics, and being offered at no cost to officers or their agencies. The bill also clarifies that "law enforcement agency" and "peace officer" have the meanings defined in Minnesota Statutes.
