Bill Summary

AN ACT To enact R.S. 40:2554, relative to law enforcement; to provide for responsibilities of law enforcement officers while interacting with the public; to require mandatory reporting when force is used; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Louisiana Council on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) to develop a mandatory reporting policy for law enforcement officers who use physical force resulting in serious bodily injury to a member of the public, regardless of whether an arrest occurs. By January 1, 2026, POST must create a comprehensive policy that specifies when use of force reports are required and who must complete them, and this policy will apply to all law enforcement agencies in the state. The bill specifically references the legal definition of "serious bodily injury" from R.S. 14:2(C), ensuring a precise standard for when reporting is necessary. Importantly, the legislation allows individual law enforcement agencies to adopt even more stringent reporting requirements if they choose. This bill appears aimed at increasing transparency and accountability in law enforcement interactions by mandating documentation of significant use of force incidents.
