Enhanced Oversight: Ending Discrimination in Policing and Justice System
This law increases oversight of police, prosecutors, and judges to eliminate systemic discrimination. It mandates the inclusion of citizens in monitoring police reforms and requires the use of alternative solutions, such as mental health support, instead of relying solely on police actions. It also provides hundreds of millions of dollars for federal and state investigations into misconduct within the justice system.
Key points
Citizens gain formal influence over police reforms through new community oversight bodies that monitor compliance with court settlements.
The scope of federal investigations into systemic rights violations expands to include prosecutors, judges, and other justice administration officials.
Reforms must incorporate non-law enforcement solutions, such as mental health support and alternatives to police enforcement of traffic rules.
States receive authority and funding to conduct their own investigations into systemic abuses within law enforcement and the justice system.
