Summary

Existing law makes assault committed against a peace officer, as defined, engaged in the performance of his or her duties when the person committing the offense knows or reasonably should know that the victim is a peace officer engaged in the performance of his or her duties punishable by a fine not exceeding $2,000, or by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both the fine and imprisonment. This bill would make assault committed against a federal peace officer engaged in the performance of his or her duties, when the person committing the offense knows or reasonably should know that the victim is a federal peace officer engaged in the performance of his or her duties, punishable by the same penalties described above. Existing law makes battery committed against a peace officer, as defined, engaged in the performance of his or her duties, as specified, when the person committing the offense knows or reasonably should know that the victim is a peace officer engaged in the performance of his or her duties, and an injury is inflicted on that peace officer, punishable by a fine of not more than $10,000, by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by imprisonment in a county jail for 16 months, or 2 or 3 years, or by both the fine and imprisonment. This bill would make battery committed against a federal peace officer engaged in the performance of his or her duties, when the person committing the offense knows or reasonably should know that the victim is a federal peace officer engaged in the performance of his or her duties, and an injury is inflicted on that federal peace officer, punishable by the same penalties described above. By enhancing the punishment for a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
