On June 8, 2020, House and Senate Democrats came together to introduce the Justice in Policing Act. This is a multi-clause bill created to drastically reduce the death and violence brought on by excessive and unjust police brutality.

​

The Justice in Policing Act PROHIBITS and BANS: 

• all racial, religious, and other discriminatory profiling

• all chokeholds and carotid holds

• no-knock warrants in drug-related cases

​

The Justice in Policing Act LIMITS:

• the transfer of military-grade weapons to state and local law enforcement

• the use of deadly force (by requiring officers to prove that force necessary)

​

The Justice in Policing Act REQUIRES:

• the training of law enforcement officials so that they recognize implicit bias and avoid racial, religious, and other discriminatory profiling

• the creation of a national police misconduct registry

• that federal, uniformed, police officers wear body cameras

• that state and local law enforcement use existing funds to ensure the use of body cameras

• that all marked federal vehicles have dashboard cameras

• that lynching and other hate-crimes be regarded as federal crimes

​

The Justice in Policing Act ENABLES:

• the fair prosecution of reckless police action--in criminal AND civil court

​

The Justice in Policing Act SAVES LIVES.  

​

The police force is sworn to protect and serve the people.

Let's hold them to that promise. Let's pass police reform. 

 

Tell your senator that you support the Justice in Policing Act,

and so should they.
