Police Training and Independent Review of Deadly Force Act.
This act aims to improve police training, including cultural sensitivity and interactions with diverse groups. It also incentivizes states to establish independent investigations into the use of deadly force by law enforcement, potentially increasing public trust and accountability.
Key points
Mandates sensitivity training for law enforcement officers, covering racial bias, cultural diversity, and interactions with disabled, mentally ill, and new immigrants.
Encourages states to enact laws requiring independent prosecutors for criminal investigations involving law enforcement's use of deadly force.
