AI Summary
This bill amends Alaska's laws regarding police officer training and conduct. It requires police officers, probation officers, parole officers, and correctional officers to attempt to de-escalate situations and use alternative non-lethal methods before discharging a firearm at or towards another person. It also mandates that officers provide an oral warning to a person before using deadly force, if it is safe to do so. The bill adds these de-escalation and warning requirements to the training and certification standards for police and other law enforcement officers in the state. It also allows the Alaska Police Standards Council to deny or revoke an officer's certification for failing to comply with these new provisions.
