What it does
This bill relates to law enforcement officers and reserve peace officers, including the revocation or suspension of certification by the Iowa law enforcement academy council, administrative investigations under the peace officer, public safety, and emergency personnel bill of rights, and communications in professional confidence. The bill provides that a “final” decision for purposes of the revocation or suspension of the certification of a law enforcement officer or peace officer by the council means that all appeals through a grievance procedure, civil service action, or other action or procedure available to the officer have been exhausted, and “serious misconduct” includes the repeated use of excessive force in violation of law.
