Police accountability initiative debated on City Inside/Out
City Inside/Out: I-940 Police Accountability
9/28/201829:20

When law enforcement officers are involved in fatal shootings, should it be easier to prosecute them? Supporters of Initiative 940 say more police accountability is needed, as well as de-escalation and mental health training. The law enforcement community has united in opposition to the ballot measure, arguing it will endanger officers and civilians. If this seems like déjà vu, a compromise deal brokered by the state Legislature this past spring was thrown out by the state Supreme Court, which ruled that I-940 must go before voters on the November ballot.
