  • Positions covered include chief and deputy chief of police, supervisory officers, criminal investigators, detectives, police officers, training officers, physical security specialists, security specialist assistants, dispatchers, and certain administrative officers.
  • The first report must be delivered no later than six months after the law takes effect, with subsequent reports due each calendar year.
