S04470 Enacts "DJ's law" which requires training for police officers on discharging a firearm at a moving vehicle; requires the municipal police training council to develop and disseminate written policies and procedures regarding such force.

Direction

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds requirements for police training, model policies, best practices, and guidelines on discharging firearms at moving vehicles as part of use-of-force rules. This imposes additional restrictions and standards on that form of firearm use by law enforcement, falling under the firearms topic with the 'other' subtag. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
