Allows the director of the department of public safety to deny a peace officer license if an applicant has had a license permanently revoked or suspended

Summary

The bill gives the Missouri Department of Public Safety’s director authority to refuse a peace officer license—or entry into basic training—if the applicant previously had a license that was permanently revoked or surrendered. It also allows denial for other disqualifying factors and sets up an appeal process through the Administrative Hearing Commission. The change aims to ensure that individuals with serious prior licensing issues cannot become officers.
