Whitmire pushes bill on student law enforcement interactions
State Senator John Whitmire proposes legislation to require ninth grade students learn how to interact with police when stopped or detained. The bill would task the State Board of Education with creating a curriculum section on law enforcement duties and officer contact. The Senate Criminal Justice Committee would review community engagement and threat assessment to reduce injuries and deaths of officers.
