• Allots $70 million to repair and update the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy's training facility.
• Requires the Indiana law enforcement training board to establish mandatory training in de-escalation as part of the use-of-force curriculum, and requires de-escalation training to be provided as a part of: (1) pre-basic training; (2) mandatory in-service training; and (3) the executive training program.
• Establishes a procedure to allow the Indiana law enforcement training board to decertify an officer who has committed misconduct.

• HB 1006 received unanimous support in both chambers, even garnering applause and a standing ovation in the House.

HB1115 – Law Enforcement Training Board (Signed by the Governor)
