Police Training and Independent Review Act of 2024
This bill creates federal grants for states that meet specific requirements regarding police training and independent review of officer use of deadly force. It mandates annual 8-hour sensitivity training for new officers (covering racial bias, cultural diversity, and interactions with vulnerable groups) and 4-hour training for active officers, with states required to certify completion. States must also establish independent prosecution systems for cases involving police use of deadly force resulting in death or injury, defined as requiring prosecutors not from the same county as the incident. States failing to comply with either requirement during a fiscal year lose eligibility for these federal grants. The law directly affects all states receiving funds under Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control Act.
