WRITE:

Your local and state policy makers (openstates.org) and suggest these initiatives (via Jay Warren).

1. A national database of police that have been fired for misconduct, preventing them from being re-hired in another city or state. This is how we currently keep doctors who have malpractice claims accountable.

2. An independent committee that investigates all deaths by police. This committee would exist outside of the local police departments to remain unbiased.

3. An HR division dedicated to monitoring police officers social media and online activity. This division would scrub police candidates’ online activity during the hiring process as well as continue monitoring for as long as the officer is employed by that department.

4. A Bachelor’s degree requirement to be hired as a police officer. Officers that do not currently hold a degree should receive advanced training in order to remain qualified.
