AI Summary
This bill expands activities to reduce the use of excessive force by law enforcement officers, including by providing funding for grants to expand the use of body-worn cameras and to develop training programs. Specifically, the bill establishes a Body-Worn Camera Partnership Grant Program to provide funding to state and local governments for the purchase of body-worn cameras, related infrastructure and policies, and training. It also requires states and other entities receiving this funding to have policies in place to discipline officers who fail to use the cameras properly. Additionally, the bill provides funding for training on alternatives to use of force, de-escalation techniques, and responding to behavioral health crises, as well as training on the duty of officers to intervene when another officer is using excessive force.
