Bill overview
This bill aims to improve law enforcement’s understanding and response to individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. It directs the Department of Justice’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services to create an online training course for law enforcement officers, correctional officers, and probation officers. The course will cover how to interact with people experiencing dementia, recognize behavioral symptoms, communicate effectively, and identify potential abuse or exploitation. Furthermore, it suggests states could count completion of the training as part of continuing education requirements for these roles.
