This bill requires each law enforcement officer to annually complete at least

eight hours of training on use-of-force options and techniques a law enforcement

officer may use to de-escalate a potentially unstable situation. This bill also provides

$250,000 in each fiscal year in the 2017-19 fiscal biennium for the Department of

Justice to reimburse law enforcement agencies for costs of the training.
