What It Does
Most states have rejected the Law Enforcement Officers Bill of Rights, a dangerous legislative shield against police accountability. This policy frustrates prompt investigation and resolution of police misconduct allegations, often delaying officer interrogation or raising the standard for complaints. The policy often includes provisions that prevent police departments from disciplining or firing problematic officers and prohibit the disclosure of personnel records. Maryland, which was the first state to enact this dangerous policy 1974, repealed its law in 2021. A full discussion on Gun Violence and the Police is here.
