The bill would let the Attorney General give one-year grants to states that meet requirements for police training and independent review of deadly-force cases. States would have to require officers and police academy trainees to complete at least 8 hours of initial fair and impartial policing training and at least 4 hours each year after that. Training would cover bias, cultural diversity, disability and mental health interactions, crisis intervention, and de-escalation, with scenario-based tests. States would also need a law requiring independent prosecution in certain cases where an officer’s use of deadly force causes death or injury.
The bill sets conditions for states to receive grants. It does not set new training or review requirements directly for individuals outside state law enforcement agencies.
The bill authorizes one-year grants but does not specify grant amounts or total spending.
