This bill amends 70 O.S. 2021, Section 3311.4, to enhance the continuing education requirements for active full-time and reserve peace officers in Oklahoma. The amendments introduce mandatory training on mental health issues and domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and lethality assessment protocols. Specifically, full-time peace officers are now required to complete a minimum of two hours on these topics as part of their annual 25 hours of continuing education, while reserve officers must complete one hour on the same subjects as part of their eight hours of required training.

Additionally, the bill outlines the consequences for officers who fail to meet these training requirements, including the suspension of their certification until compliance is achieved. The bill also mandates that all certified officers, including cross-deputized tribal officers, adhere to these training provisions. The effective date for these changes is set for November 1, 2026.
