This bill mandates that the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP) in the Department of Children and Families, in collaboration with the Division of Criminal Justice in the Department of Law and Public Safety, create a training course focused on the responsibilities of law enforcement officers as mandated reporters of suspected child abuse and neglect. The training will also cover the procedures for responding to such reports in line with the DCF/Law Enforcement Model Coordinated Response Protocol.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the training course must be included in the initial training for law enforcement officers within 90 days of their appointment or transfer, and it should be repeated every three years as part of in-service training. Additionally, all local law enforcement officers appointed before the bill's effective date are required to complete the training within 36 months. The DCPP is tasked with periodically reviewing and updating the training curriculum as necessary.
