OH HB630

Law enforcement agencies must submit a written report to the Division of Criminal Justice Services within 72 hours after a person (other than a law enforcement officer) is shot and killed by their officers during official duties.

Reports must include the deceased's demographics, date/time/location of death, circumstances, witness information, statements about whether the deceased possessed a firearm, and descriptions of any firearms recovered at the scene.

The Department of Public Safety must produce an annual report summarizing all submitted reports and analyzing them collectively, distributed to legislative leaders, law enforcement agencies, and the Attorney General by January 31st.

If the yearly report shows that five or more deceased were not in possession of a firearm when shot, all law enforcement officers in the state must complete in-service firearm training within one year, including training on deadly force and the modified low-ready position.

Law enforcement officers who fail to complete required in-service training within one year become prohibited from carrying a firearm during official duties until training is completed; law enforcement agencies must reimburse the Peace Officer Training Commission for training costs.
