HB 1923 -- OFFICER-INVOLVED DEATHS

SPONSOR: Dogan

This bill requires every law enforcement agency to have a written policy regarding the investigation of officer-involved deaths. The written policy specified in the bill requires an investigation to be conducted by at least two investigators in the case of a traffic-related death; the investigation to use a crash reconstruction unit; and allows for an internal investigation.

The investigators conducting an investigation must provide a complete report to the prosecutor of the county or city not within a county in which the officer-involved death occurred.

Compensation for participating in an investigation is determined by a manner consistent with a mutual aid agreement.

This bill is the same as HB 446 (2019).
