[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, Ms. Sayles.

Could you talk a little more about the progressive policies for the Police department?

-The Progressive policies I reference include advocacy in supporting the adoption of the following nationwide "eight policy recommendations that cannot wait" underway in the City of Gaithersburg:
**What they have failed to do at the county and state, we've been prohibiting the following:
**Bans Chokeholds and Strangleholds
**Requires De-Escalation
**Requires Warning Before Shooting
**Requires to Exhaust All Alternatives Before Shooting
**Duty to Intervene
**Ban Shooting at Moving Vehicles
**Has Use of Force Continuum
**Requires Comprehensive Reporting

Moreover, following the police-involved shooting of a Gaithersburg youth, I worked with our police department to ensure all of our officers, even those working undercover, must be outfitted with body cameras to prevent the loss of life while in police custody

And are you advocating for Gaithersburg resident representation on the state-mandated Police Accountability Board that the Council is now creating?  How do local police departments feel about being subjected to Elrich-appointed disciplinary boards? [/quote]

*The City of Gaithersburg has the most diverse population in the country and we have our police department as well. It would be helpful to hear from residents from our city and if you're interested in applying, send me an email and let m know if I can be helpful.
*My daughter served on the County's Reimagining Policing task Force[/quote]
