Law enforcement: other; use of force policies; require law enforcement agencies to create. Creates new act.
This bill requires law enforcement agencies in Michigan to create and publicly share written policies on how officers should use force. The law mandates that these policies must include specific rules, such as using only objectively reasonable force, reserving deadly force for situations involving an immediate threat of death or serious injury, and prioritizing de-escalation techniques. Additionally, the bill defines key terms like "deadly force" and "objectively reasonable" to guide policy creation and requires agencies to regularly review and update their policies to stay current with laws and court rulings.
