This bill relates to a law enforcement agency providing annual training to law enforcement officers relating to de-escalation techniques and the prevention of bias. Current law requires a law enforcement agency to provide annual training to every law enforcement officer on issues relating to de-escalation techniques and the prevention of bias. The bill removes the requirement that annual training for law enforcement officers include training relating to the prevention of bias, instruction on diverse communities, causes of biased law enforcement actions, instruction on implicit bias, and the history and the role of the civil rights movement and the impact on law enforcement.
