What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill requires the Department of Justice to create or find training programs for law enforcement leaders — like officers who oversee police operations in their areas — covering topics such as leadership, handling emergencies, officer well-being, using data to guide policing, and building trust with communities. The DOJ must work with local law enforcement groups, universities, and other organizations when developing these training programs and must set up a way to officially certify programs that meet the standards. The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office to review and report on how the training programs and certification process are working.
