The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5005, seeks to allocate funding for the training of law enforcement officers specifically in crime scene processing. The bill proposes an appropriation of one million seventeen thousand dollars from the General Fund to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The training program aims to enhance officers' skills in forensic crime scene investigation and processing, as well as the collection and use of scientific evidence.

The primary goal of this legislation is to provide advanced training to law enforcement personnel, thereby improving their capabilities in handling crime scenes and ensuring the proper collection and analysis of evidence. This initiative is intended to bolster the effectiveness of law enforcement in criminal investigations and enhance public safety.
