@ArtAcevedo @statesman Many cities across America struggled with obtaining the resources necessary to process the backlog of sexual assault kits. It wasn't until the Federal Government began to provide assistance that the backlog was reduced. Acevedo was not provided the resources he sought.

@Jerry_Ratcliffe @TheIACP Had the pleasure of meeting Bill close to 20 years ago while working together with the Innocence Project encouraging police to improve eyewitness identification policies and practice. He has truly made important and lasting contributions to policing in his 47 year career.

Pursuit policies are trending again. It's a tricky one to be sure. @PoliceForum recently recommended that agencies only permit pursuits when there is evidence of a violent crime *and* failure to immediately apprehend would pose an imminent threat to public safety.
