Senate Bill 1484 amends the Government Code and Occupations Code to require the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to establish and administer a border operations training program to prepare peace officers for collaboration and cooperation with law enforcement agencies, district and county attorneys, the border prosecution unit, and other prosecutors on investigations and prosecutions related to criminal activity in the Texas‑Mexico border region. Among other provisions, the bill requires DPS to identify opportunities for these officers to assist in its border operations‑related duties and authorizes the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement to recognize, administer, or assist in administering the training program as a continuing education program for officers.
