AK HB256

Alaska Police Standards Council must adopt regulations requiring police officers, probation officers, parole officers, municipal correctional officers, and correctional officers to report incidents of deadly force or preparation to use deadly force to a supervisor as soon as practicable.

Council shall maintain a central registry of officers who have had certificates denied or revoked, including the reason for denial or revocation, and submit yearly updates to the legislature by December 1.

Municipalities employing municipal police officers must report all use-of-force incidents to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Public Safety must do the same for state troopers.

Department of Public Safety shall prepare and submit a statewide use-of-force report to the legislature by December 1 each year detailing all reported incidents.

Municipal correctional officers and employees are now subject to police standards requirements without requiring a municipality to adopt an ordinance; existing employees have two years from the effective date to comply with certification requirements.
