What’s in it

AI summary People who want to take short law enforcement training courses through a police agency currently must have finished a specific college program in Iowa. This change allows those students to use a degree from an approved college in other states instead. The training programs must still be accredited and approved by the academy.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to short course law enforcement training requirements. Currently, an individual who is not a certified law enforcement officer may apply for attendance at a short course of study at an approved law enforcement training program if the individual is sponsored by a law enforcement agency. An individual who submits an application shall, at a minimum, submit proof of successful completion of a two-year or four-year police science or criminal justice program at an accredited educational institution in this state approved by the academy. The bill removes the requirement that the two-year or four-year police science or criminal justice program must be from an accredited educational institution in Iowa, but retains the requirement that the two-year or four-year police science or criminal justice program be completed at an accredited educational institution approved by the academy.
