AK SB2

Alaska Police Standards Council must adopt regulations requiring peace officers to de-escalate encounters using nondeadly or less lethal means before using deadly force, if de-escalation is safe to attempt.

Officers must intervene when they know or reasonably should know another officer is engaged in misconduct, unless intervention is unsafe, and immediately report such incidents to a supervisor.

Police officer training programs must include at least 12 hours on domestic violence, at least 12 hours on sexual assault, and instruction on de-escalation and misconduct intervention and reporting regulations.

Municipal correctional, correctional, probation, and parole officer training programs must include training on intervening in and reporting officer misconduct, plus de-escalation procedures.

Police officer certificates may be denied or revoked for failure to comply with de-escalation and misconduct intervention regulations or for substantiated reports of misconduct filed by supervisors.
