106-L:1 Findings and Policy.
Status: in_force

I. The legislature finds that the administration of criminal justice is of statewide concern; that police and corrections work are important to the health, safety, and welfare of the people of this state; that police and corrections work are of such a nature as to require education and training of a professional character; and that it is in the public interest that such education and training be made available to persons who seek to become police and corrections officers, persons who are serving as police and corrections officers in a temporary or probationary capacity, and persons already in regular service. II. Further, the legislature finds that law enforcement officers are vested with responsibilities that require high standards of moral character, integrity, knowledge and trust. In support of these heightened responsibilities and to continuously strive for public confidence in law enforcement officers, the law enforcement conduct review committee is created at New Hampshire police standards and training council.
