13652.1. (a) Each law enforcement agency shall, within 60 days of each incident, publish a summary on its internet website of all instances in which a peace officer employed by that agency uses a kinetic energy projectile or chemical agent, as those terms are defined in Section 13652, for crowd control. However, an agency may extend that period for another 30 days if they demonstrate just cause, but in no case longer than 90 days from the time of the incident.
(b) For each incident reported under subdivision (a), the summary shall be limited to that information known to the agency at the time of the report and shall include only the following:
(1) A description of the assembly, protest, demonstration, or incident, including the approximate crowd size and the number of officers involved.
(2) The type of kinetic energy projectile or chemical agent deployed.
(3) The number of rounds or quantity of chemical agent dispersed, as applicable.
(4) The number of documented injuries as a result of the kinetic energy projectile or chemical agent deployment.
(5) The justification for using the kinetic energy projectile or chemical agent, including any deescalation tactics or protocols and other measures that were taken at the time of the event to deescalate tensions and avoid the necessity of using the kinetic energy projectile or chemical agent.
(c) The Department of Justice shall post on its internet website a compiled list linking each law enforcement agency’s reports posted pursuant to subdivision (a).
