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).
