The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating a total of $1,228,000 from the Peace Officer Training Equipment Fund for the Flagstaff and Glendale Police Departments. Specifically, it would allocate $200,000 for pepper ball and pepper ball weapons and $328,000 for a public safety training simulator to the Flagstaff Police Department, as well as $700,000 for two public safety training simulators to the Glendale Police Department. These appropriations are intended to enhance public safety training and equipment for law enforcement.
Additionally, the bill includes a provision that exempts these appropriations from lapsing, which means the allocated funds would not expire at the end of the fiscal year, allowing the police departments to utilize the funds as needed. This change would be codified in the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically under section 41-1731, which governs the Peace Officer Training Equipment Fund.
