Summary
The COOL IT Act orders the Department of Homeland Security to develop a scenario‑based curriculum that immigration officers must complete and be certified on each year. It also amends immigration law to require officers to finish at least 67 days of training before they can enforce immigration statutes. The goal is to boost community‑police relations, officer safety, and decision‑making skills.
