Local police would get better access to federal training, and DHS training programs would be tracked.
This bill would make the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report on how its basic training programs are certified. It would also require DHS to research ways for state, local, and Tribal police to more easily access federal training, especially in rural areas. This aims to improve how all levels of law enforcement respond to threats.
Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not have to regularly report to Congress on the certification status of its basic training programs. If this bill becomes law, DHS would need to send annual reports to Congress, starting within 90 days. It would also have to notify Congress within 30 days if any program loses its certification, and research ways to improve federal training access for local police.
