What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The Department of Justice currently administers an integrated crime alert

network and may use the network to provide to state agencies, law enforcement, or

the public information regarding criminal activity, crime prevention, missing or

endangered persons, and certain hit-and-run incidents. This bill requires DOJ to

allow law enforcement agencies to use the network to disseminate threats against

law enforcement. The bill also requires a law enforcement agency to use the network

to disseminate the threats if an alert could help avert harm or aid in apprehending

an individual and if 1) a law enforcement officer has suffered great bodily harm or

death; 2) a law enforcement officer is missing; or 3) there is an imminent and credible

threat that an individual intends to injure or kill a law enforcement officer.
