Summary

This proposal seeks to amend the Colorado Revised Statutes to provide additional state funding for peace officer training and support. The key elements of the proposal are:

1. **State Funding for Peace Officer Training and Support**: 
   - The proposal directs the Colorado legislature to appropriate **$350 million** to the **Peace Officer Training and Support Fund**, which would be allocated to **municipal** and **county law enforcement agencies**.

2. **Uses of the Fund**:
   - The fund can be used for a range of purposes, including:
     - **Hiring and retaining peace officers**.
     - **Pay increases and bonuses** for peace officers.
     - **Initial and continuing education and training** for officers.
     - A **death benefit** for peace officers, police, fire, and first responders killed in the line of duty.

3. **Supplemental Funding**: 
   - The proposal specifies that this funding is intended to **supplement** existing appropriations, meaning it should add to current budgets for law enforcement, not replace them.

In summary, the measure aims to increase support for law enforcement agencies through significant state funding, enhancing recruitment, retention, and training efforts, and providing financial support for the families of first responders who lose their lives in the line of duty.
