The written policy adopted by the law enforcement agency must include the following requirements:
(a) Each peace officer who is involved in an officer-involved shooting or whose conduct resulted in substantial bodily harm to or the death of another person must submit to drug and alcohol testing, including, without limitation, testing for the use of cannabis, prescription drugs and illegal drugs; and
(b) The drug and alcohol testing must be completed as soon as practicable after the officer-involved shooting or the conduct of the peace officer that resulted in substantial bodily harm to or the death of another person, but not later than the end of the involved peace officer’s shift.
2. As used in this section, "officer-involved shooting" means any instance when a peace officer discharges his or her firearm during the performance of his or her official duties or in the line of duty and thereby causes injury or death to one or more persons.
