Reformation in the police training and hiring process
psychological evaluation isn't required on a federal level
there is no federal standard for police training/hiring
This leaves room for people who may not fit the job or have ill intentions with the power they are given
"requires a completed background investigation before a decision can be made whether an applicant will be allowed to progress to the next step" (Applying TOC)
KEEP THIS!! this will also help prevent people with violent tendencies
"Because this is one area where bigots can legally exercise their bigotry to their heart's content and even be praised, thanked, and glorified for it."
-LIMIT POLICE POWER
most of the training is focused on the physical aspect
there is not a lot of room to learn about conflict avoidance
many officers may feel the need to because they are taught to be apprehensive "if you are complacent, you will die"
"Officer safety or officer survival training often starts on the first day of the police academy where police cadets see very gripping and horrifying videos of other officers being severely beaten or killed" (Looking at how Police are trained)
120 hours on use of force vs 8 hours of conflict avoidance and deescalation (Looking at how police are trained)
method of reform that would require different training
Let's get the police out of the business of drug enforcement and enforcement of other non-violent crimes by legalizing drugs
Our members support improved, detailed guidelines regarding when the use of force is appropriate, specifically in instances involving deadly force, as well as mandatory training on proportionality in the use of force and de-escalation tactics to improve the ability of law enforcement to serve their communities.
