MN HF56

Requires the Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training to appoint a critical incident review team after criminal investigations conclude for incidents involving peace officer firearm discharge that causes bodily harm or any death during peace officer contact.

Critical incident review teams must include at least three members: one current or former peace officer, one community resident from where the incident occurred, and if the injured person is a person of color, one member of the same race; team members cannot be current or former employees of the agency under review.

Review teams must identify and analyze incident causes, then issue a report within 60 days either recommending a corrective action plan or explaining why none is needed; team members may file dissenting reports if they disagree on causes or corrective actions.

Reports must be posted on the board's public website with data redacted per state data privacy law, and the employing agency must pay investigation costs; teams may recommend statewide training changes to the director.

The Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training must report biannually by January 15 of odd-numbered years to legislative committees on the number of reviews performed, corrective action recommendations, dissenting reports, and training recommendations.
