Law enforcement; Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training; qualifications for the Executive Director. Emergency.

SB 91 amends Oklahoma's law to change the qualifications required for the Executive Director of the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET). The bill mandates that the Executive Director must hold a bachelor's degree or higher in law enforcement or a related field, plus either 10 years of law enforcement supervisory experience or 5 years of active experience including supervisory duties and a relevant degree. This change directly affects the person appointed to lead CLEET, which oversees training standards and certification for all law enforcement officers in Oklahoma. The bill was introduced as an emergency measure to update leadership requirements for this key agency.
