sheriff's officers; correctional officers; training

HB 4110 requires Arizona county sheriff's deputies, detention officers, and state correctional officers who interact with prisoners or inmates to complete mandatory training on serious mental illness. The training, developed or approved by the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System mental health commissioner, must cover psychosis recognition, de-escalation strategies, emergency treatment procedures, and systemic factors contributing to mental illness in correctional settings. New hires must complete the training within six months, with refresher courses every two years, and agencies must maintain compliance records. This bill directly affects law enforcement personnel in county sheriff's offices and state correctional facilities.
