LAW ENFORCE/OFFICERS: Provides relative to the Council on Peace Officer Standards and Training
This bill updates the membership rules for the Council on Peace Officer Standards and Training in Louisiana. It ensures that two specific representatives from local law enforcement groups - the president of the Louisiana Chapter of the National Constables Association and the president of the Louisiana City Marshals and City Constables Association - are included on the council. The change directly affects the composition of the council by clarifying which organizations have a seat at the table to help set training standards for police officers. No new powers or funding are added, and the bill does not alter the council's existing duties or budget.
