Police officers should avoid using deadly force whenever possible. But, right now, officers can legally use deadly force and kill someone even when they have other alternatives. AB 392: The California Act to Save Lives, introduced this year by Assemblymember Shirley Weber (D-San Diego), will make clear that police officers should only use deadly force when necessary. It is a common-sense bill modeled after best practices already in place in some departments — and that we know work to reduce police killings and save lives.
Thank your legislators for supporting AB 392
