Overview

Transfers one virtual training simulator from the Yuma County Sheriff's Office to the Glendale Regional Training Academy.

History

Laws 2018, Chapter 312 established the Peace Officer Training Equipment Fund (Fund). The Fund consists of monies from two sources, which include: 1) $4 of every $9 surcharge assessed on fees charged by court-authorized diversion programs, including defensive driving school; and 2)  A $4 fee on every civil penalty imposed and collected for a civil traffic violation or a criminal violation of the motor vehicle statutes or local ordinances relating to the stopping, standing or operation of a vehicle (A.R.S. §§ 12-114 & 12-116.10).

Additionally, $2.3 million was appropriated from the Fund to DPS for 10 virtual firing ranges, 3 virtual training simulators and software for the ranges and simulators, including a virtual training simulator for the Yuma County Sheriff's Office.

Monies in the Fund may only be used for peace officer training equipment (A.R.S. § 41-1731). The Peace Officer Training Equipment Fund Advisory Commission is required to annually submit written recommendations to the Governor and Legislature on the allocation of monies in the Fund (A.R.S. § 41-1732).
