Some police departments allow 3-5 days before investigating their officers. This can be used as a window to cover up misconduct. #CheckThePolice has a database of police union contracts. Call your local department and ask about theirs. Report here: https://t.co/fnsmlc98Hk

We need a greater say in our law enforcement. If we can't pick who becomes an officer, we deserve a say in who loses that privilege.

If police need incentives to “protect and serve,” then that speaks to the quality of the officers, or the quality of the laws being enforced.

The common thread between them both is the need for oversight.

Officers enforcing the law isn't the problem.. it's officers who think they ARE the law that's the problem.

Let's fix that. We need oversight!

This is how the Albuquerque Civilian Police Oversight Board handles complaints.
••
This is a great example of transparency, accountability, and fairness to all parties involved.

Lets bring this to DE!

Civilian Review Boards take on many forms, based on size of the police force, needs of the community, and level of public mistrust.

Delaware, I can't wait to see what ours will look like! 🤗 Let's get to work!

Those who say DE doesn’t have a policing problem are either:
1). Unaffected by it
2). Lacking the foresight to see how one might come to be.
This isn’t JUST about solving a problem. It’s about making sure one never exists.

DE has no common definition for "Use of Force." As a result, incidents which result in physical or psycological harm aren't investigated.

This is exactly why Delaware needs greater police transparency.

Police would do better to walk softly and carry a big stick, than to carry a big stick and make the ground shake.

Police have power. That doesn’t mean they should abuse it.
••
We need a Civilian Review Board.

Citizen Review Boards are essential for building an accountable police force.

The practice is springing up all around the nation, and there's no reason we can't be next.

Let's make it happen!

Abuse of power by Law Enforcement isn't just a Delaware problem, its a nationwide epidemic.

It took a week for Boulder to police to apologize for their lack of professionalism... Has anyone heard from the @DEStatePolice?
