Plain-English Summary
This bill would require independent investigations and reviews whenever police officers use deadly force, rather than allowing police departments to investigate themselves. The goal is to ensure impartial oversight of officer-involved shootings and other fatal encounters to increase public trust and accountability in law enforcement.
