The bill amends the Revised School Code by adding Section 1308f, which mandates the Department of State Police and the Office of School Safety to develop and provide annual training on various school safety and security topics. This training is aimed at school resource officers, school safety personnel, and all staff in public and nonpublic schools. The topics include position-specific training for resource officers, threat assessment plans, emergency response procedures, communication skills, de-escalation tactics, and mental health services, among others.

Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Attorney General to create training materials and provide annual training on legal updates relevant to school resource officers and security personnel. This training will cover the limits of authority for officers in school environments and the legal authority of security personnel who are not licensed under the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards Act. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the safety and security training provided to individuals working in educational settings.
