Neighbors,

On Monday, the Minnesota House of Representatives passed comprehensive legislation [ [link removed] ] to provide a uniform system across the state for districts that decide to have a School Resource Officer (SRO) program. It provides clarity law enforcement agencies and school districts sought last fall regarding the use-of-force standard.??

Significantly, the bill requires the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Board to develop a model policy. The policy will have minimum standards for proper use of force, response tactics to minimize the use of prone restraints and other physical holds, the duty to render care, alternative procedures to de-escalate conflict, and considerations to build constructive police relationships with students, administrators, and educational staff. The bill requires the POST Board to develop this policy with impacted Minnesotans including law enforcement, education experts, local units of government, community advocates, and organizations representing youth.
