"Trust in Law Enforcement Act"; require Department of Public Safety to create public database on officer misconduct.

HB 598, the "Trust in Law Enforcement Act," would require Mississippi's Department of Public Safety to create a public database tracking specific officer misconduct by January 1, 2027. The database would include verified information such as officers found untruthful in official records, repeated training failures, certification revocations, or terminations for cause, making this data accessible to the public online. Officers could request reviews of inaccurate entries, and the database would need monthly updates for accuracy. This bill directly affects Mississippi law enforcement officers and aims to increase transparency in officer performance records.
