Promotes police leadership by enhancing training for command-level personnel.

The Promoting Police Leadership Act amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to improve the COPS program's training for command-level personnel.

The curricula must include in-person instruction, peer-to-peer learning, and evidence-based problem-solving.
