Peace officers: active shooter and rescue training.

Existing law provides that it is the intent of the Legislature that all public schools, in kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, operated by school districts, in cooperation with specified entities and individuals, develop a comprehensive school safety plan, as provided. Existing law requires a comprehensive school safety plan to include the development of procedures for conducting tactical responses to criminal incidents, including procedures related to individuals with guns on school campuses and at school-related functions. This bill would establish the Statewide Active Shooter and Student Rescue Training Facility for purposes of training sheriff's departments, municipal police departments, school law enforcement agencies, statewide law enforcement agencies, municipal emergency medical and fire personnel, and school educators and personnel from across the state for preparedness training for active shooter situations at school facilities, as specified. The bill would require the training facility to be located at the Sacramento County Sheriff Department's Kenneth Royal Range Facility and managed by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department. The bill would require training to be conducted by law enforcement officers employed or under contract with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department and other regional experts with whom the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department has entered into a memorandum of understanding. The bill would require all training to be consistent with current Sacramento County Sheriff's Department policies and adhere to training standards developed by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. By requiring training to be conducted by, and the training facility to be managed by, the Sacramento County Sheriff Department, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would also require that the training facility be used for the purposes of human trafficking-related incidents and shall provide simulation training to law enforcement agencies on the rescue and extraction of victims of human trafficking from structures used to illegally house and transport victims of human trafficking. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
