FISCAL IMPACT
The bill would result in training costs to the State or local government, or both. Though the bill does not specify how the costs of the proposed training would be shared, if at all, between MCOLES and local law enforcement, MCOLES estimates that the statewide cost of training new hires to law enforcement in active violence response would be approximately $141,000 annually, from 30 training sessions held yearly at 20 regional training academies, at a cost of $4,700 each. The costs of training all 18,500 currently licensed law enforcement individuals, as the bill would require, beginning January 1, 2020, is estimated by MCOLES to be $2.8 million.
