Autism and disability training for Nevada officers

Beginning October 1, 2025, Nevada peace officers must complete at least 12 hours of continuing education each year. The courses must include how to interact with people with developmental disabilities. To be certified, officers also must complete training on identifying and working with people with developmental disabilities. The training may cover autism topics like interviews and interrogations, de-escalation, finding missing people, and safety in jails. Training taken for this rule counts toward related state training in NRS 450B.160 and 450B.180, when those apply.
