Summary of Legislation: This bill changes the membership of the Law Enforcement Training Board. It
requires the creation of certain statewide policies and training programs. It also requires the creation of
minimum standards for certain best practices.
Effective Date: July 1, 2022.
Explanation of State Expenditures: The bill provides that the superintendent of the Indiana State Police
shall represent the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA). The bill also adds the chief administrative
officer of the ILEA to the Board. This may be a workload increase for both the superintendent and chief
administrative officer.
In addition to the chief administrative officer of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, the bill also adds
other members which expands the Board membership from 17 to 23 members. Members of the Board are
entitled to per diem compensation and travel reimbursement in connection with each member’s duties. Salary
per diem for lay members on an executive committee is $100, and travel reimbursement is $0.39 per mile.
Costs will be dependent on the number of meetings and distance of travel per member.
The ILEA is required to adopt uniform statewide policies on deadly force, defense tactics, and vehicle pursuit
standards. Additionally, the ILEA is required to document and publish on their website all statewide policies
and minimum standards. The bill’s requirements are within the ILEA's routine administrative functions and
should be able to be implemented with no additional appropriations, assuming near customary agency
staffing and resource levels.
