Peace officer training reimbursement funding increased.
This bill increases funding for peace officer training reimbursements in Minnesota, directing $2.949 million in the first year and $6.042 million in the second year to local governments for training costs. It establishes a $4.942 million annual Philando Castile Memorial Training Fund specifically for law enforcement training courses focused on use of force, crisis response, conflict management, cultural diversity, and autism training. The bill requires training sponsors to submit detailed course outlines, instructor qualifications, and learning assessments to the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board, with ongoing reviews to ensure courses meet approved learning outcomes. Additionally, it raises the base funding for reimbursing other board-approved training courses from $878,000 to $3.878 million starting in fiscal year 2028.
