Requires the Justice Department’s COPS Office to develop and publish an online training course about Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias within one year of enactment. The course must teach how to recognize symptoms, communicate effectively, avoid physical restraints when possible, and spot abuse or neglect, and the Director must recommend that states allow completion to count toward required training hours for certain law enforcement and corrections positions.
The law sets a one-year deadline for course creation and focuses on improving interactions between public-safety personnel and people living with dementia, with a recommendation (not a mandate) that states accept the course for required training credit.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
