Existing law requires the Office of Emergency Services to establish the California Olympic and Paralympic Public Safety Command (COPPSC) to facilitate the planning, resourcing, management, and delivery of safety and security at the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. Existing law repeals provisions relating to COPPSC on January 1, 2029. Existing law requires the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) to adopt rules establishing minimum standards relating to physical, mental, and moral fitness that govern the recruitment of certain peace officers. Existing law requires POST to establish a certification program for certain peace officers, as provided.

This bill would require COPPSC to negotiate and enter into agreements to facilitate training, mutual cooperation, sharing of information and resources, and the use of law enforcement personnel with other state and local agencies within and outside of the State of California for the purposes of ensuring public safety for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The bill would require the agreement to, among other things, require law enforcement personnel contracted from out of state to obtain a certificate of training from the commission. The bill would require the commission to establish a streamlined training program for out-of-state law enforcement personnel that, among other things, satisfies the key requirements for qualifications under the POST program that are necessary for the unique conditions of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The bill would repeal the requirement to establish a streamlined training program on January 1, 2029.
