AI Summary
This bill creates a division within the Department of Justice to review, upon request, the use-of-force policies of local law enforcement agencies and make recommendations. It also requires a state prosecutor, specifically the Attorney General, to investigate incidents of officer-involved shootings resulting in the death of an unarmed civilian, prepare a written report, and post the report publicly. The bill defines "unarmed civilian" and "deadly weapon" for the purposes of these investigations. It also authorizes the state prosecutor to initiate and prosecute criminal actions against officers if warranted. The bill is subject to an appropriation by the Legislature for its implementation.
