Police Training and Independent Review Act
STATUS
House of Representatives: Introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee on the same day
Analysis
H.R. 125 would mandate sensitivity training for police officers and incentivize state governments to pass laws requiring the independent investigation and prosecution of police officers suspected of using deadly force.
Which human? Whose security?
All citizens, and especially the primarily poor people who suffer the brunt of police violence.
“I am deeply concerned about the crisis of trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.”
