AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 11 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER PRIVACY.

Like Chapter 19 of Title 10, covering judicial officers, and a similar provision pending for correctional officers, this Act allows law enforcement officers to submit a written request that their personal information not be publicly released. The written request may be submitted directly by a law enforcement officer to a person or government agency or the law enforcement agency employing the officer may submit a written request on behalf of the officer. This Act also directs the law enforcement agency employing covered law enforcement officers to develop a policy and procedure for law enforcement officers to apply for the employer to submit a written request on behalf of the law enforcement officer. The employer would also be required to enroll a law enforcement officer who opts into the employer’s process to enroll the law enforcement officer in the services for an online privacy vendor. This Act applies to law enforcement officers who serve on or after its enactment date and takes effect 180 days after its enactment into law.
