MO HB1780

Adds a new definition of "police shooting" to include any incident in which an individual is shot by a law enforcement officer, whether on or off duty.

Creates a new section (610.055) prohibiting law enforcement agencies from disclosing the name of any officer involved in a police shooting unless that officer has been charged with a crime related to the shooting.

Closes incident reports and arrest reports involving police shootings if they contain the name of the shooting officer, except when the officer's name is redacted or the officer has been charged with a crime.

Establishes that internal investigation records of law enforcement agencies into officer fitness and conduct are closed records separate from standard investigative reports, and are not subject to public disclosure under the Sunshine Law.

Allows law enforcement agencies to keep confidential the identities of officers involved in police shootings under the existing public records exemptions for closed records.
