Bill > SF3905

This bill extends the availability of funds appropriated for law enforcement use of force training until June 30, 2027, meaning the money can be spent for a longer period. These funds, totaling $250,000, are intended to reimburse eligible postsecondary schools, which are colleges and universities certified to train peace officers, for providing 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 training with real firearms firing nonlethal ammunition, covering the effects of stress on officers, and including instruction on de-escalation, bias, and defensive tactics. The training must also be offered at no cost to the officers or their agencies, and schools can receive $450 for each officer who completes the program.
