| 17 | + | Current law requires officer recruits for law enforcement agencies, jails, or |
|---|
| 18 | + | juvenile detention facilities to complete preparatory training and for law |
|---|
| 19 | + | enforcement officers to complete annual recertification training. Under current law, |
|---|
| 20 | + | the Law Enforcement Standards Board authorizes the reimbursement to political |
|---|
| 21 | + | subdivisions of approved expenses. This bill requires LESB to pay the law |
|---|
| 22 | + | enforcement agency for the approved preparatory expenses. Under current law, the |
|---|
| 23 | + | approved expenses for annual recertification training must include at least $160 per |
|---|
| 24 | + | law enforcement officer. This bill increases the minimum amount per officer to $320 |
|---|
| 25 | + | and specifies that the law enforcement agency that employs the officer be paid for the |
|---|
| 26 | + | approved expenses of the officer's annual recertification training. |
|---|

|---|
