Officer Standards and Training that, among other things, establishes
levels of standards and training for peace officers, as specified.

community policing and engagement programs, efforts, strategies, and
policies in the state, including, but not limited to, police
activities leagues, neighborhood watch programs, and integrated

   Existing law, except for initiatives and referendums, vests the
