AI Summary

This bill establishes new requirements and restrictions on the use of force by law enforcement and correctional officers in Washington. It defines key terms like "law enforcement agency," "less lethal alternatives," and "peace officer." The bill sets out specific circumstances in which officers can use physical force, including to protect against criminal conduct, make arrests, prevent escapes, or defend against imminent threats of serious injury or death. It requires officers to use de-escalation tactics and the least amount of force necessary, and prohibits certain force tactics. The bill also mandates the Attorney General to develop model policies on use of force and de-escalation, which agencies must adopt or explain any departures from. Additionally, the bill requires consistency between the new standards and the basic training provided to criminal justice personnel.
