The amount determined is the base year revenue for the city or county. The treasurer of state shall certify the base year revenue determined under this subsection to the city or county. The total amount of money distributed to a city or county under this section during a state fiscal year may not exceed the entity's base year revenue. For each state fiscal year beginning after June 30, 2002, the treasurer of state shall pay that part of the riverboat wagering taxes that:
        (1) exceeds a particular city or county's base year revenue; and
        (2) would otherwise be due to the city or county under this section;

        (1) To each city located in the county according to the ratio the city's population bears to the total population of the county.
        (2) To each town located in the county according to the ratio the town's population bears to the total population of the county.
        (3) After the distributions required in subdivisions (1) and (2) are made, the remainder shall be retained by the county.
    (f) Money received by a city, town, or county under subsection (e) or (h) may be used for any of the following purposes:

        (4) For police and fire pensions.
        (5) To carry out any governmental purpose for which the money is appropriated by the fiscal body of the city, town, or county.

    (g) This subsection does not apply to an entity receiving money under IC 4-33-12-6(c). Before September 15 of 2003 and each year thereafter, the treasurer of state shall determine the total amount of money distributed to an entity under IC 4-33-12-6 during the preceding state fiscal year. If the treasurer of state determines that the total amount of money distributed to an entity under IC 4-33-12-6 during the preceding state fiscal year was less than the entity's base year revenue (as determined under IC 4-33-12-6), the treasurer of state shall make a supplemental distribution to the entity from taxes collected under this chapter and deposited into the property tax replacement fund. The amount of the supplemental distribution is equal to the difference between the entity's base year revenue (as determined under IC 4-33-12-6) and the total amount of money distributed to the entity during the preceding state fiscal year under IC 4-33-12-6.
    (h) This subsection applies only to a county containing a consolidated city. The county auditor shall distribute the money received by the county under subsection (d) (e) as follows:

        (3) After the distributions required in subdivisions (1) and (2) are made, the remainder shall be paid in equal amounts to the consolidated city and the county.

If a person fails to successfully complete the basic training requirements within one (1) year from the date of employment, the officer may not perform any of the duties of a law enforcement officer involving control or direction of members of the public or exercising the power of arrest until the officer has successfully completed the training requirements.

Inservice training must include training in interacting with persons with mental illness, addictive disorders, mental retardation, and developmental disabilities, to be provided by persons approved by the secretary of family and social services and the law enforcement training board. In addition, a certified academy staff may develop and make available inservice training programs on a regional or local basis. The board may approve courses offered by other public or private training entities, including colleges and universities, as necessary in order to ensure the availability of an adequate number of inservice training programs. The board may waive an officer's inservice training requirements if the board determines that the officer's reason for lacking the required amount of inservice training hours is due to any of the following:

However, if space in the program is not available at a time that will allow the police chief to complete the program within six (6) months of the date the police chief initially takes office, the police chief must successfully complete the next available program that is offered to the police chief after the police chief initially takes office.
    (k) A police chief who fails to comply with subsection (j) may not serve as the police chief until the police chief has completed the police chief executive training program. For the purposes of this subsection and subsection (j), "police chief" refers to:

form required by IC 5-11-10-1 for the costs of the work performed under the contract;
