Bill > HB1103

This bill creates a Review Board for Officer-Involved Deaths in Mississippi. The board will be composed of five members appointed by the Attorney General, including a retired or reserve judge, a former law enforcement officer, an Assistant Attorney General, a criminal law or justice professor, and a former district attorney. The board's duties are to review information from law enforcement agencies about officer-involved deaths, make recommendations to the Attorney General about investigations, and submit an annual report to the Legislature on the number, location, and demographics of such deaths. The bill also requires each law enforcement agency to have a policy on handling officer-involved deaths, including reporting them to the review board, using a crash reconstruction unit not involved in the incident, and requiring blood samples from involved officers. Agencies without these policies will not be eligible for certain legal protections.
