The bill amends Title 44 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new chapter, Chapter 22, which focuses on the establishment of special emergency response teams within the Pennsylvania State Police. Under this new chapter, the Pennsylvania State Police is mandated to create six response teams, each assigned to specific geographic regions: Northwest, North Central, Northeast, Southeast, Central-South Central, and Southwest. The commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, in consultation with the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, will determine the teams' duties, establish mandatory training requirements, and oversee the selection process for team members.

The training for these response teams will cover various critical areas, including safe building entry, internal coordination during operations, threat identification, and the prevention of friendly fire incidents. The bill emphasizes the importance of police officer safety, civilian protection, and lawful use of force in its training protocols. This act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
