Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Police Ordinance (Consolidated Version), 5731-1971, so that the Police Internal Investigations Department (PIID) will be required to open an immediate criminal investigation in every case it learns of an offense committed by a police officer that causes injury or harm to health, instead of carrying out a preliminary review at its discretion. In addition, the bill eliminates a section of the Police Law, 5766-2006, that referred to a provision requiring the approval of the Attorney General to enforce disciplinary offenses against police officers for unlawful use of force.
