SITUATION: California Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) penal code currently does not include training on how to effectively interact with persons with Alzheimer’s Disease, or dementia.
SITUATION: Assembly Member Kevin Mullin has introduced AB 2583, which will amend current protocol to include this missing—crucial–training.
SITUATION: AB 2583 is currently before the Assembly’s Public Safety Committee for consideration on March 21st, and, without enough support, may not make it out of committee for a vote by the full Assembly.
