The 400 hours stated is for the training academies only and isn't a yearly mandate - BRPD already more than doubles that number with their academy.

The 20 hours of in-service training is a yearly requirement - BRPD already doubles that amount


This legislation doesn't do shite to BRPD. James knows that. This just allows him to go back to his voters and show them that he did something. It's feel good legislation. It will only effect small town departments.


Maybe what James really wants is for BRPD to cut back their training standards to follow his new "reform" bill so more people can be employable.
