Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to public safety; requiring peace officers to cooperate with certain investigations.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (POST Board) to update its standards of conduct to mandate that peace officers cooperate with external law enforcement investigations involving use of force, specifically when the officer being asked to cooperate is not the subject of the investigation or accused of wrongdoing. Under this provision, peace officers who cooperate with such investigations will be granted immunity from potential civil or criminal liability that might arise from statements or admissions they make during the course of the investigation. The bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability in law enforcement investigations by ensuring that officers provide necessary information and testimony when another agency is investigating a use of force incident, while also protecting cooperating officers from potential legal repercussions stemming from their cooperation.
