What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law provides standards and training requirements for law

enforcement officers, but current law does not provide specific standards or training

requirements for school resource officers, who are law enforcement officers assigned

by a law enforcement agency to work in collaboration with a school district, private

school, or independent charter school. This bill requires the Office of School Safety

in the Department of Justice to develop standards and approve a certified training

program for school resource officers. The bill prohibits law enforcement agencies

from assigning officers after September 1, 2022, as school resource officers unless

they have completed a training program that DOJ has approved.

The bill also requires the Office of School Safety to maintain a database of all

school resource officers. Under the bill, the office must include in the database the

school district, private school, or independent charter school to which each school

resource officer is assigned and when the officer completed the training required

under the bill.
