Amends TCA Title 8, Chapter 10 and Title 38, Chapter 8.
Tennessee SB1065 amends existing law to require the Tennessee Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) commission to issue certificates of compliance to county constables who meet police officer qualifications and complete an approved training program. The bill affects newly elected or appointed constables, mandating 128 hours of training within their first year and pairing them with experienced officers until training is completed. It also removes penalties for failing to complete in-service education requirements, while maintaining that constables are not required to be certified to perform their duties.
