SB1249

Missouri SB1249 allows the Director of Public Safety to deny peace officer licenses or basic training course entry to certain individuals.

Missouri SB1249 amends the peace officer licensing process by allowing the Director of Public Safety to deny licenses or course entry to applicants under specific conditions. The director can deny an application if the applicant had a previously revoked or surrendered license, is not a U.S. citizen, or if there is cause to discipline the applicant. The director can also grant the application subject to probation or deny it based on the severity of the cause or the applicant's rehabilitation. Decisions can be appealed to the administrative hearing commission within thirty days.
