Requires revocation of parole for assaulting or threatening law enforcement officers.
This bill requires the immediate revocation of parole for any parolee who assaults or threatens a law enforcement officer, including retired officers acting in their former capacity. It mandates that parole boards detain offenders and begin revocation proceedings upon arrest or indictment for such acts, or upon credible reports of threats intended to cause imminent fear of death or physical harm to officers or their family members. The legislation applies to both active and retired law enforcement personnel and defines family members to include spouses, parents, children, and other relatives residing with the officer.
