## Summary

**Scenario-based training for law enforcement** would create a federal program to develop and fund realistic training that emphasizes de-escalation, crisis intervention, officer safety, and improved community-police relations. The Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services would run the curriculum and a matching grant program for implementation. - Law enforcement personnel: Would gain access to a standardized scenario-based curriculum covering de-escalation, use of force, stress responses, decision making, crisis intervention, and officer resilience. - State, local, and tribal governments and agencies: States, units of local government, Indian Tribal governments, other public and private entities, and regional consortia would be eligible to apply for grants to deliver the training. - Community groups and professional associations: Community-based organizations and law enforcement associations would be consulted on curriculum development and could receive technical assistance to implement the training. - Program tracking and improvement: Grantees must report on benefits and barriers one year after a grant and the COPS office must report annually on how many people were trained, barriers, and recommendations for the curriculum and grant program. *This bill does not authorize new appropriations and would be carried out using unobligated Department of Justice funds.*
