Promoting Police Leadership Act
This bill, the Promoting Police Leadership Act, aims to enhance training for police command staff by requiring the Attorney General to develop or identify new curricula focused on leadership, community trust, and critical incident response. This bipartisan effort by Senators Cornyn and Whitehouse was introduced and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, meaning it needs committee approval before a full Senate vote.
