Department of Justice: law enforcement policies on the use of deadly force.

Abstract

Existing law defines which persons are peace officers and the authority of those persons. Existing law also defines those types of law enforcement agencies that may employ peace officers. Existing law creates the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to set minimum standards for the recruitment and training of peace officers. Existing law also creates various programs within the Department of Justice for the support and coordination of local law enforcement agency efforts to prevent crime and apprehend criminals. This bill would require the Attorney General, commencing on July 1, 2023, to create a program within the Department of Justice to review the policies on the use of deadly force of any law enforcement agency, as specified, that requests a review, and to make recommendations.
