making police departments accountable

making police departments accountable

A friend posted this on Facebook:


1. Independent evaluations of practice and procedure for every police dept that receives state or federal funding.

2. Daily report cards of how many people are stopped- disaggregrated by race. The technology is trivial to make that a reality.
BUT IT MUST BE MADE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ON A DAILY BASIS.
The only way to fix this is to make police departments accountable. And the only way to do that is to find the places where police departments are profiling.

It's not sexy but it's tangible.​
