MS Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Practices; establish.
HB 1283 establishes the Mississippi Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Practices, a seven-member body composed of the Attorney General, Highway Safety Patrol Director, and association presidents representing police chiefs, constables, campus officers, and sheriffs. The commission develops operational standards, oversees training programs, provides technical support to law enforcement agencies, and conducts annual compliance reviews. Members serve without pay but receive expense reimbursement, and the commission must meet quarterly while reporting annually to the Governor and Legislature. This bill directly affects all Mississippi law enforcement agencies by creating a new oversight body for standard-setting and compliance.
