Law Enforcement Accountability Reform

The Issue

George Floyd(and countless others) won't have justice until we change the way we measure and hold law enforcement accountable. Congress needs to create a bill and the President needs to sign it to do the following:

Standards

  • Creation of a national policing standard for all police departments to be graded on by end of the year.
  • Creation of a national police training standard for all departments to be graded on by end of the year.
  • Release yearly grades of every police department based upon new standards.
  • Creation of a police brutality state review board made up of a mix of residents and police officers at state level empowered to decertify police officers.
  • Elimination of qualified immunity.
  • Provide federal per capita subsidy for police departments which adopt national standards to support transition and operational measures.
  • Municipalities and police unions must share in the cost of civil damages.
  • Three strikes rule for officers involved in verified offenses resulting in being banned nationally from law enforcement work.

Community

  • Police officers must live in their policing jurisdiction(e.g. living in the same city a police officer protects) to improve officer community engagement and awareness.
  • Police must end militarized approaches to policing.
  • Make it illegal for police officers to turn off mandatory body cameras.
  • Mandatory release of all police camera(e.g. body, police vehicle) footage within 24 hours to the public.
  • Public database for all residents to look up and grade officers by name/badge no.
  • Subsidize increases in police compensation to attract better candidates and enable police officers to live in their community.
