Expedite seized property after law investigation
This bill requires that law enforcement weapons used in officer-involved shootings be collected, tested, and documented by investigators for evidence purposes. Once the investigation concludes and no criminal charges are filed or pending against the officer, the weapon must be returned to the agency within seven days so it can be used again in the field. The law affects law enforcement agencies and investigators by establishing a clear timeline for returning seized firearms after they have been processed for evidence. It aims to balance the need for thorough evidence collection with the operational requirement that officers have access to their equipment.
