AI Summary

This bill mandates that the municipal police training committee develop and implement a new course within the basic training curriculum for law enforcement officers, which includes those from municipal police departments, environmental law enforcement, the University of Massachusetts police, and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) police. This course, to be established by January 1, 2017, will focus on civilian interaction and procedural justice, emphasizing crisis intervention, de-escalation, and disengagement tactics, as well as strategies for building and maintaining community trust. Additionally, the committee is required to periodically incorporate this training into its in-service curriculum for existing officers and other public safety personnel.
