Bill > LD1784

This bill mandates that law enforcement agencies in Maine must provide orientation and training to their officers on the agency's policies and procedures, and by January 1, 2026, they must publish these policies and procedures in a clear and understandable format. This includes providing a summary of each key policy, a comprehensive list of rules governing officer conduct, and contact information for public inquiries. These policies must be made accessible on a publicly available website without requiring passwords or fees, or as a printed copy available at the agency's headquarters within seven business days of a request, with a reasonable fee allowed for paper copies. The chief administrative officer of each agency must annually certify compliance with these requirements, with an exception for information deemed confidential intelligence and investigative records.
