New training for police on Alzheimer's and dementia
This bill would create an online training course for police and correctional officers. It would teach them how to better work with people who have Alzheimer's or similar memory loss. This training would help officers spot symptoms, talk clearly, and avoid physical restraints. The goal is to make interactions safer and more understanding for these individuals.
Currently, there is no federal requirement for the Department of Justice to create a specific training course for law enforcement on Alzheimer's disease and similar forms of dementia. If this bill passes, the Department of Justice would be directed to establish such an online course within one year, and would recommend states count it towards officer training hours.
