What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Current law requires officer recruits for law enforcement agencies, jails, or juvenile detention facilities to complete preparatory training and for law enforcement officers to complete annual recertification training. Under current law, the Law Enforcement Standards Board authorizes the reimbursement to political subdivisions of approved expenses. This bill requires LESB to pay the law enforcement agency for the approved preparatory expenses. Under current law, the approved expenses for annual recertification training must include at least $160 per law enforcement officer. This bill increases the minimum amount per officer to $320 and specifies that the law enforcement agency that employs the officer be paid for the approved expenses of the officer's annual recertification training.
