Peace officers required to cooperate with certain investigations.

HF 2089 requires peace officers in Minnesota to cooperate with investigations conducted by other law enforcement agencies into incidents involving the use of force by the officer, provided the officer is not the subject of the investigation. This bill directly affects peace officers who are not accused of wrongdoing in the specific incident under review. The key mechanism mandates the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board to update officer conduct standards to include this cooperation requirement, while also granting immunity from civil or criminal liability for statements made during such cooperation. The policy change aims to facilitate transparent investigations into use-of-force incidents without penalizing officers who assist other agencies.
