The Alzheimer's Law Enforcement Education Act of 2025 directs the Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services to develop an online training course for law enforcement, correctional officers, and probation officers on how to interact with people who have Alzheimer's disease and similar forms of dementia. The course must be completed within one year of the bill's enactment and will cover recognizing symptoms, communicating effectively with affected individuals, using alternatives to physical restraints, and identifying signs of abuse or neglect. The bill encourages state departments and agencies to count completion of this training toward the required continuing education hours that law enforcement and correctional officers need to maintain their positions. This legislation affects law enforcement and correctional personnel across the country who will have access to the training and potentially benefit from it counting toward their professional requirements.
