[quote=Anonymous]I live in s smaller city that has had significant police reform. We have one of the most comprehensive accountability and transparency ordinances in the country. So for example, there is a civilian oversight board (something most communities don't have) that reviews complaints against officers and/or the dept. There is also now a process for people who are in the gang database to get the information that they are in the database and to challenge their inclusion. Previously, individuals could not get that information, and parents of youth included in the database could also not get that information. The police chief and the commissioner supported the ordinance, and I really believe (for example) they don't want to see the kind of violent action against protesters that we've seen across the country. But the union and many of the rank n file officers are horrible and after a couple years with reform measures in place, I don't think they can be reformed. I think my community would be safer with many fewer officers on the streets.[/quote]
