If a peace officer who observes the use of physical force that is not justified is a supervisor of the peace officer who is using such physical force, the peace officer making the observation shall issue a direct order to stop the use of such physical force.3. A peace officer who observes the use of physical force that is not justified shall report the observation to his or her immediate supervisor unless the observation involves his or her immediate supervisor, in which case the peace officer shall report the observation to the supervisor of his or her immediate supervisor. Such a report must: (a) Include, without limitation: (1) The date, time and location of the incident;(2) The identity, if known, and a description of the participants; and(3) A description of the actions taken as a result of the observation.(b) Be made in writing not later than 10 days after the occurrence of the use of physical force and observation and appended to all other reports of the incident.4. A member of a law enforcement agency shall not discipline or retaliate in any way against a peace officer solely for: (a) Intervening in the use of physical force that is not justified as required by subsection 1; or(b) Reporting the observation of the use of physical force that is not justified as required by subsection 3.5. Each law enforcement agency in this State shall train its peace officers on the provisions of this section.(Added to NRS by 2020, 32nd Special Session, 70)-(Substituted in revision for NRS 193.355) Added by 2020SP2, Ch. 4,§5, eff. 8/7/2020.Substituted in revision for NRS 193.355.
