Summary

The bill changes the curriculum that school security officers must complete before they can carry a firearm, swapping an active‑shooter focus for broader critical‑incident and behavioral‑threat training. It also gives the Department of Criminal Justice Services authority to set many new minimum training standards for a wide range of law‑enforcement roles, from auxiliary police to campus security. The changes aim to improve preparedness, safety, and consistency across Virginia’s public‑school and law‑enforcement communities.
