Background:
I-940 (De-Escalate WA) is an initiative to the legislature designed to reduce incidents of police violence and increase community safety statewide, by:
1.Mandating more training on De-Escalation, mental health, and First Aid
2.Requiring police to give First Aid in use of force cases
3.Requiring independent investigations in deadly force cases
4.Updating the state’s deadly force statute, which is an outlier in the country.
