House lawmakers in Delaware have voted to approve a bill aimed at greater transparency and public accountability in cases alleging police misconduct.
House lawmakers in Delaware voted overwhelmingly Thursday to approve a bill aimed at greater transparency and public accountability in cases alleging police misconduct.
"This bill has been a long time coming," said House Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf, a Rehoboth Democrat. "It’s been a lot of hard work." Under the reform measure, a police agency would be required to inform the state Council on Police Training when an investigation finds that an officer engaged in sexual assault, sexual harassment, dishonest conduct or domestic violence. Instances involving an officer firing his weapon at a person or causing serious physical injury also would have to be reported. The council would be required to post the narratives on its website within 30 days.
