Governor Bevin’s Red Tape Reduction has lead to a life-saving law enforcement amendment. The changes apply to the Kentucky Law Enforcement Foundation Program Fund, which provides a pay incentive to municipal and county police officers whose agencies have adopted certain professional standards. Kentucky requires officers to receive 40 hours of in-service training each year if their agency participates in the fund, but state regulation prevented officers from repeating any training course for a three-year period. The Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training has amended the regulation, allowing officers to repeat certain courses in diminishable skills, such as driving, shooting, and self-defense, without completing the waiting period.
