Overview
This bill mandates minimum staffing requirements for law enforcement agencies in Class 3 municipalities in Alabama. It establishes a five-year grace period for these municipalities to meet the requirements, with annual improvements tracked by the local police department. If a municipality fails to comply by October 1, 2031, the state, through the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), can take over operational oversight, including deploying additional officers and establishing corrective action plans. The bill also outlines a process for restitution if the state incurs costs due to this oversight.
