The bill modifies the training provisions for newly elected constables by explicitly enabling them to request training from the Constable Ethics Standards and Training Board.

  • Section 22-131

    AN ELECTED OR APPOINTED CONSTABLE MAY REQUEST TRAINING FROM THE CONSTABLE ETHICS STANDARDS AND TRAINING BOARD. IF APPROVED BY THE BOARD, THE TRAINING SHALL BE PAID FOR WITH BOARD MONIES AND PROVIDED BY A CONSTABLE WHO IS SELECTED BY THE BOARD AND WHO HAS COMPLETED THE MANDATORY BASIC TRAINING COURSE PRESCRIBED IN SECTION 22-137.
