SACRAMENTO – On Monday, August 19, Governor Gavin Newsom will sign AB 392, the use-of force bill by Assemblymember Shirley Weber (D-San Diego).
The bill will modernize standards for use of deadly force by officers. Specifically, this bill updates the existing deadly force standards to provide that deadly force may only be used when necessary.
