The bill amends Title 53 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new section, 2167.1, which establishes a basic tactical operations course as part of the mandatory training for police officers. The Pennsylvania Commission is tasked with developing and implementing this course, which will cover essential skills such as safe building entry, team coordination, threat identification, and the use of cover in dynamic environments. Additionally, the course will include scenario-based training focused on officer safety, civilian protection, and the lawful use of force.

Completion of the basic tactical operations course will be required for certification as a police officer in Pennsylvania. This initiative aims to enhance the preparedness and effectiveness of law enforcement personnel in tactical situations, ultimately contributing to improved public safety. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
