An Act amending Titles 18 (Crimes and Offenses) and 53 (Municipalities Generally) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in abuse of office, providing for the offense of criminal concealment by law enforcement officer; and, in municipal police education and training, providing for visible badge requirement.

SB 1071 creates a new criminal offense for Pennsylvania law enforcement officers who conceal misconduct related to their duties. It amends statutes to define "criminal concealment" as intentionally hiding evidence or obstructing investigations into officer misconduct. The bill also requires municipal police officers to wear clearly visible badges during all training sessions. These changes directly affect police officers in Pennsylvania's municipal departments and aim to increase transparency in law enforcement conduct.
