Require appointed police chief to complete officer basic training

Summary

The bill mandates that anyone appointed permanently as a chief of police (or village marshal) must first receive a certificate confirming satisfactory completion of an approved peace‑officer basic training program. It also applies to temporary or probationary appointments, which would be forfeited without the training, and sets required curriculum topics such as domestic‑violence response, crisis intervention, and companion‑animal handling. Several permanent positions are specifically exempted.
