Law enforcement: other; use of force policies; require law enforcement agencies to create. Creates new act.

This Michigan bill requires all law enforcement agencies to create and publicly post written policies on how officers may use force. The new rules mandate that agencies adopt guidelines ensuring officers only use physical force that is objectively reasonable and reserve deadly force for situations where there is an immediate threat of death or serious injury. Agencies must also include specific instructions on de-escalation techniques and clarify that restricting air flow to a person's throat counts as deadly force. Additionally, the law compels these agencies to regularly review and update their policies to stay current with legal standards and case law.
