An Act amending Title 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in employees, providing for mandatory firearms training for certain law enforcement agencies.
This bill mandates that police officers in specific large counties in Pennsylvania complete firearms training four times per year. The requirement applies only to agencies located in second-class A counties with populations between 565,000 and 600,000. Officers must undergo these courses with certified instructors, and agencies must keep detailed records of rounds fired and test scores. If an officer fails to finish the required training, they will be placed on administrative leave until they complete it. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
