Public Safety - Police Accountability - Police Officer Complainant

HB 122 allows police officers to file complaints about misconduct by other officers with county police accountability boards, expanding the current system that previously only accepted complaints from the public. The bill requires counties to establish these boards, which must hold quarterly meetings with law enforcement, appoint civilian members, and annually report on disciplinary trends and recommend policy improvements. Complaints must include the officer’s name, incident details, and contact information, and must be forwarded to the relevant law enforcement agency within three days. The review process for all complaints must be completed within one year and one day from the date filed.
