Bill
AI Summary
- Every law enforcement agency in Florida would be required to create an early intervention system to track and identify potentially damaging patterns of behavior by law enforcement officers
- The legislature finds that a small percentage of officers is responsible for a disproportionate number of excessive force complaints, and early identification combined with mentorship, counseling, and additional training may lead to positive outcomes
- Risk indicators to be tracked include complaints against officers, use of force and deadly force incidents, frequency and severity of disciplinary incidents, arrests for resisting arrest, officer injury reports, vehicle accidents, and civil litigation against officers
- Interventions for identified officers would include mentorship, counseling, and additional training, aimed at protecting officers and the public they interact with
- The act would take effect July 1, 2021, by creating new section 943.6875 of the Florida Statutes
