I have been thinking about this for the last week and reading on different approaches, and I was wondering what people think about it here.
These would be Federali standards in order to receive Federal policing funds.
1) Cops should be banned from using neck restraint holds. This seems like a very dangerous practice, and when I was infantry training for some Cuban detention camps, we wwere told to not use neck restraints as it is easy to actually kill a person in a dozen different ways. so maybe police should be banned from using it?
2) Cops should have body cams on at all times when on duty. If it stops working they have to go back to theirprecinct and get it fixed before going back out.
3) Cops should have additional training on submission holds, the risks and what not to do.
4) Cops could be tracked on a Federal database for disciplinary action. This way a bad cop from Chicago cant conceal his past nad get hired on in Houston.
5) We should focus more on community outreach programs with police to soften their image more and build relations with the local community. More foot cops less patrol cars.
6) Stop voting into the mayors office people that have a history of slamming on cops.
7) Reduce militarization of our PEACE officers. Not every cop should be SWAT.
8) Increase pay for cops to reduce ned for overtime
9) cops should have random drug tests (especially for steroids)
10) Annual psychological review to help police deal with frustrations from the job, and these should be former cops as well as psychologists/
