RE: Costly Concerns Surrounding Police Body Camera Program

in #police7 years ago

I would be more motivated to see focus being put on the independent investigation of police actions. It has been over a decade in the making, but one wrongful death case lead to

...Wisconsin [becoming] the first state in the nation to mandate, on the legislative level, that if an officer was involved with a loss of life, that outside investigators must come in and collect the data and investigate that shooting." Article

While this law only relates to police homicides, there are plenty of those occurring. Maybe removing the investigative duties from the departments could free up resources of time and energy for training, counseling...sounds like both could be beneficial!
