Relating to education and training for peace officers on
interacting with persons with Alzheimer’s disease and other
dementias.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 4141 would require the 40-hour statewide
education and training program for peace officers on de-escalation and crisis
intervention to include instruction on
interacting with persons with Alzheimer’s disease and other
dementias, including instruction on techniques for recognizing
symptoms, communicating effectively, employing alternatives to
physical restraints, and identifying signs of abuse, neglect, or
exploitation.
Texas Action is neutral on HB 4141 which does not add extra required training hours but rather adds an additional subject to be covered in the current allotted training time.
