LAW ENFORCEMENT: Requires in-person trauma-informed training for law enforcement officers. (8/1/24) (EN +$2,000 GF EX See Note)
This bill requires law enforcement officers to complete in-person training focused specifically on domestic violence, sexual assault, and sex trafficking. The legislation mandates that the training materials cover skills and practices related to these three specific issues while explicitly excluding content on diversity, equity, and inclusion. By narrowing the scope of the required curriculum, the bill aims to standardize the trauma-informed approach officers must learn without including broader social policy topics.
