The Community Safety Education Act - Texas Senate Bill 30
The Community Safety Education Act, formerly known as S.B. 30 and passed in the 2017 legislative session, establishes curriculum and instruction modules to teach high school students proper interaction with peace officers during traffic stops and other encounters. The law reads that topics of instruction will include proper behavior for civilians and police officers, laws regarding questioning and detention by police officers, consequences for a person's failure to comply with the law, how and where to file a complaint against an officer, and a person's rights concerning interactions with police officers.
DRSR working with educators and law enforcement has created a lesson that addresses all aspects of the Community Safety Education Act (S.B. 30). Please feel free to download the PDF of the lesson. Contact DRSR at DRSR@TMCEC.COM for questions about using this important lesson.
