Bill > A02022

This bill requires the Division of Criminal Justice Services to report certain use-of-force incidents by police officers and peace officers to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Use-of-Force Data Collection Program. The bill specifies the types of use-of-force incidents that must be reported, including the use of firearms, chokeholds, chemical agents, impact weapons, and electronic control weapons, as well as any incidents resulting in death or serious bodily injury. The report must include detailed information about the circumstances of each incident and the demographic characteristics of the individuals involved. The bill also provides that failure to report as required will result in the withholding of state funding to the relevant law enforcement agency.
