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, operational guides for violence prevention, target hardening, law enforcement response to emergencies, the OK2Say confidential tip line, emergency operations plans, incident command systems, communication skills, de-escalation techniques, cultural competence, and mental health services.

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 and scope of an officer's authority in the school environment and the legal authority of security personnel who are not licensed under the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards Act. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the safety and security training for individuals working in educational settings.
