Overview
This bill changes the training requirements for peace officers in California. Specifically, it disqualifies individuals previously employed as federal immigration enforcement officers who assisted with immigration enforcement after January 20, 2025, from becoming peace officers. These individuals would need a 10-year cooling-off period before becoming eligible to apply for a peace officer certificate. The bill also clarifies that the commission must consider the training and experience of out-of-state or federal law enforcement officers when determining eligibility for a Basic Course Waiver and aims to ensure that California peace officer training standards align with federal requirements.
