AB 2411: California Olympic and Paralympic Public Safety Command: agreements with state and local agencies.

Existing law requires the Office of Emergency Services to establish the California Olympic and Paralympic Public Safety Command to facilitate the planning, resourcing, management, and delivery of safety and security at the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in the City of Los Angeles. Existing law repeals provisions relating to the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games on January 1, 2029. Existing law requires the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to adopt rules establishing minimum standards relating to physical, mental, and moral fitness that govern the recruitment of certain peace officers. Existing law requires the commission to establish a certification program for certain peace officers, as provided.

This bill would require the Office of Emergency Services to negotiate and enter into agreements to facilitate training, mutual cooperation, and sharing of information and resources related to the temporary deployment, as defined, of law enforcement personnel and other resources necessary to safeguard life, property, and critical infrastructure with other state and local agencies within and outside of the State of California for the purposes of ensuring public safety for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The bill would prohibit out-of-state law enforcement personnel, as defined, from being deployed pursuant to these provisions unless specified conditions are met, including issuance of a temporary authorization by the commission, for the duration of the temporary deployment, as provided, and the Office of Emergency Services and the designated California law enforcement agency supervising out-of-state law enforcement personnel entering into a written memorandum of understanding governing conditions the office deems necessary to ensure compliance with these provisions. The bill would require out-of-state law enforcement personnel deployed pursuant to these provisions to, among other things, be limited to general 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games law enforcement duties, as defined. The bill would authorize the Director of the Office of Emergency Services, or their designee, to administer oaths, conduct swearing ins, and deputize law enforcement personnel deployed pursuant to these provisions for the limited purposes of performing general 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games law enforcement duties, as provided. The bill would require the commission, in coordination with the Office of Emergency Services and appropriate agencies, to submit a report to the Assembly and Senate Public Safety Committees on the deployment out-of-state personnel, as provided.

This bill would require the commission to establish a streamlined training program for out-of-state law enforcement personnel that, among other things, includes training as determined by the commission to be necessary for the unique conditions of the use of out-of-state law enforcement personnel to assist local law enforcement agencies with law enforcement operations during the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The bill would repeal the requirement to establish a streamlined training program on January 1, 2029.

This bill would, until January 1, 2029, make a full-time law enforcement officer of another state a peace officer in this state for the purposes of assisting local law enforcement for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games if that officer meets specified conditions, including, among other things, that the officer has a minimum of two years of continuous full-time experience performing general law enforcement duties with law enforcement of another state and is currently in good standing with their employing agency, and has completed the streamlined training program established by the commission.
