Law enforcement agencies; mandatory reporting requirements to Alabama Criminal Justice Information Commission, provided

This bill requires law enforcement agencies across Alabama to annually report the number of sworn officers they employ to the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Commission. The reports must be submitted by July 1, 2026, and February 1 each year thereafter, and must include details about whether officers are certified by the state's peace officers standards commission. The information collected will be shared with the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency and Attorney General, who will compile and publish the data on their official website. Agencies that fail to submit these reports face penalties including fines, potential removal of officials from office, and loss of eligibility for state grant funding. The bill also authorizes the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency to create rules to implement these reporting requirements.
