Police Training Reform: Focus on De-Escalation and Community Safety.
This law mandates the creation of a new, standardized scenario-based training curriculum for law enforcement personnel across the country. The training emphasizes de-escalation techniques, crisis intervention, and improving community-police relations through realistic simulations. A grant program will be established to help state and local police departments fund and implement this improved training methodology.
