Senate approves technical change to law-enforcement academy training qualifications
Summary
House File 2199, which revises qualification rules for the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy so certain military or federal training combined with a criminal-justice degree qualifies for shorter Level 2 training, passed the Senate unanimously (46-0) and was ordered messaged to the governor.
Senator Reichman presented House File 2199 as a technical change to Iowa Law Enforcement Academy training qualifications. The bill would change the existing requirement so that prior military or certain federal training plus completion of a two- or four-year criminal-justice program would count such that an applicant qualifies for the shorter Level 2 training.
"Currently, the requirement is if an applicant for the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy has had military training, or certain police or federal training and completed, 2 or 4 year criminal justice program, they do qualify for the level 2 short training," Reichman said. The bill strikes that language and changes it to an "or" formulation to permit qualification for the shorter-duration class.
Senator Reichman moved final reading and passage; the secretary read the bill and the Senate recorded 46 ayes and 0 nays. The bill was declared to have received a constitutional majority and was ordered messaged to the governor.
