The next time a Boynton Beach police officer shoots someone with a gun the Florida Department Law Enforcement of will investigate it.
In the past, the police department investigated its own officer-involved shootings.
In a statement on Facebook the police department wrote that the change is a step toward more accountability and transparency.
FDLE will also investigate the death of anyone in Boynton police custody.
The last officer-involved shooting was in 2014.
The department says no inmate has ever died in their custody.
