Resolution Resolution No. 43-19

In Plain English

AB 392 would change California law to restrict when police officers can legally use deadly force. Current law allows deadly force when officers have reasonable fear for their safety. The new standard requires officers to use deadly force only when necessary to prevent death or serious injury.
