incident and that requires constant reevaluation as circumstances dictate and allow.
(c) Training that provides law enforcement officers with awareness and recognition of
indicators of physical and mental disabilities, mental health issues, developmental
disabilities, and substance abuse issues with an emphasis on effective communication and de-
escalation techniques.
(d) As appropriate with the nature and immediacy of the threat to public safety, the
use of distance, cover, and time when approaching and managing critical incidents, in order
to help create a safety zone between the law enforcement officer and subject, to afford the
officer more time to react to the circumstances.
(e) A law enforcement officer's responsibility to intervene in a situation if another law
enforcement officer's actions indicate that officer has lost self-control or use of force is not
objectively reasonable to the level of resistance encountered.

enhance de-escalation techniques and skills.
(3) An individual seeking to become a law enforcement officer or a person who is
already a licensed law enforcement officer may meet the standards for implicit bias training

techniques in his or her interactions with citizens to the extent that it is reasonable and safe as
possible.
(5) The commission shall make a model written policy meeting the requirements of
subsection (4) available on its website. A law enforcement agency may fulfill its duty under

objectives and outcomes.
(b) "De-escalation technique" means a method or methods intended to diffuse
potentially volatile or violent situations with the goal of reducing the level of subject control
required to resolve the situation in an objectively reasonable and safe manner.
(c) "Implicit bias training" means an evidence-based training that provides instruction
regarding the bias implicit in all human beings and how to help ensure unconscious bias does
not inhibit fair and impartial law enforcement.
(d) "Procedural justice training" means training based on the principles of treating
people with dignity and respect, giving citizens a voice during encounters, being neutral in
decision making, and conveying trustworthy motives while emphasizing law enforcement's
role in the context of the larger criminal justice system.
(e) "Training gap" means identified behavioral or performance deficiencies caused by
a lack of skill or knowledge.
