The proposed bill, titled the "Law Enforcement Officer Duty to Intervene Act," mandates that all law enforcement agencies in Michigan establish a written policy requiring officers to intervene when they witness the use or attempted use of excessive force by another officer. Agencies are required to adopt this policy within 12 months of the act's effective date, ensuring that officers are trained to act to prevent further unreasonable force and to report their observations to a supervisor. Additionally, the bill allows agencies to adopt a model policy created by the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards, and it clarifies that agencies can implement more stringent policies if desired.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that officers must be provided with a copy of the intervention policy, which will serve as a basis for potential disciplinary action if violated. The act emphasizes the importance of accountability within law enforcement and aims to enhance the standards of conduct among officers. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 341 from the 103rd Legislature.
