            Currently, continuing education training periods for constables vary depending on when a constable completed the initial training after election or appointment to the position.  House Bill 487 amends the Occupations Code to require the Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education to establish a uniform 48-month continuing education training period for constables and sets out the means for determining the beginning of the first such period for each individual.
