Enhanced Police Oversight: Ending Discrimination and Boosting Community Support

This act aims to increase oversight of police actions to prevent discrimination. It introduces new rules for court agreements, which can now include mental health support and community programs, and require citizen involvement in oversight. Citizens will gain more influence over how law enforcement operates in their communities.
Key points
Increased community involvement in police oversight: new oversight bodies made up of citizens will be established, with the power to ask questions, obtain documents, and make recommendations for changes in police operations.
New approach to problem-solving: court agreements with police can now include not only changes in law enforcement practices but also mental health support and community-based programs, reducing reliance on police intervention.
More funding for anti-discrimination efforts: the Department of Justice will receive additional funds for investigations into police discrimination, and states can receive grants for their own investigations and programs to prevent misconduct.
