Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement on the New Hampshire State Senate's bipartisan vote to pass Senate Bill 527, providing resources to the Police Standards and Training Council:

"Public safety is our most important responsibility as a state, and it has never been more important than it is now for New Hampshire to continue our strong practice of unified training and community policing. The Police Standards and Training Council helps prepare our dedicated officers for the challenges and dangers that they face every day, and this important measure will help address the funding challenge that the council faces.

"I thank the Senate for passing this critical legislation to support the Police Standards and Training Council's work to help prepare our law enforcement community for the challenges that they face every day, and I urge the House to join their colleagues in support of this bill so that we can keep New Hampshire's law enforcement officers among the most effective in the country."
