What’s in it

This bill relates to the revocation or suspension of law enforcement officer certification. The bill provides that the Iowa law enforcement academy council may revoke or suspend the certification of a law enforcement officer or reserve peace officer due to any of the following: the law enforcement officer or reserve peace officer has been discharged for good cause from employment as a law enforcement officer or reserve peace officer; or the law enforcement officer or reserve peace officer leaves, voluntarily quits, or the officer’s position is eliminated when disciplinary action was pending, under circumstances warranting the discharge of the law enforcement officer or under circumstances warranting the removal of the reserve peace officer for good cause.
