The Safe Passage Training and School Engagement Amendment Act of 2025 amends section 3023 of the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice Establishment Act of 2011. The bill mandates that personnel hired by organizations receiving grants for Safe Passage and Safe Blocks must hold bi-annual meetings with school administrators whose routes are served by Safe Passage Ambassadors. Additionally, it clarifies the training requirements for these personnel, specifying that they must undergo various trainings, including quarterly bystander intervention training, annual cultural competency training, and training on recognizing signs of abuse and neglect, among others.

The new legal language includes the addition of two paragraphs that outline these requirements, ensuring that Safe Passage Ambassadors are well-equipped to support students effectively. The act will take effect once its fiscal impact is included in an approved budget and financial plan, and it will require certification from the Chief Financial Officer. The bill emphasizes the importance of collaboration between Safe Passage personnel and school administrators to enhance student safety and support within the community.
