Handle with Care; authorize implementation and administration of program by Department of Public Safety.

SB 2198 directs Mississippi's Department of Public Safety (DPS) to oversee and administer the state's "Handle with Care" program, which focuses on sensitive handling of child-related incidents by law enforcement. The bill requires the DPS Commissioner to designate staff, coordinate with the Mississippi Commission on Children's Justice, establish training for law enforcement, and seek grant funding to support the program. It explicitly states the Legislature is not required to appropriate new funds for the program, relying instead on grants, donations, or existing resources. The bill aims to formalize DPS's role in managing this initiative without mandating new state spending.
