An Act providing for greater police transparency

This bill aims to increase police transparency by mandating that law enforcement agencies publicly report detailed data on officer demographics, hiring practices, and traffic stop statistics. It requires agencies to publish information on recruitment efforts for officers of color and the reasons why officers leave the force. Additionally, the legislation establishes a permanent task force to audit government agencies for compliance with diversity goals, which mandate that staff reflect the racial and gender makeup of the state population. The bill also updates training requirements to include implicit bias education and scenarios based on current criminal data, while ensuring officers are trained to use non-lethal force before resorting to physical force. Finally, it restricts the types of offenses recorded in certain police reports to only those involving murder.
