Paving the path to a more equitable future in community policing

District 4 Councilman Julian Jones has put together a new bill, calling for comprehensive changes to the county’s police department.

The bill includes things like prohibiting choke holds, requiring certain deescalation techniques before use of force and requiring an officer to intervene and report when another officers uses unnecessary or excessive force.

Police Reform Bill 73-20 will be voted on August 3rd at 6pm

Greetings Councilman Todd K. Crandell

I am a resident of Baltimore County District 7. I support Bill 73-20 because the policies and actions of the police are instrumental in deciding who gets stopped, searched, arrested, and funneled into the criminal justice system; indeed, the United States’ over-incarceration crisis begins at the front end of the system. I urge you to vote in favor of this legislation.
