As members of our California communities call for reform, our state legislators have proposed almost two dozen bills aimed at fundamentally changing the practice of law enforcement in our state. Unfortunately, many of these bills were developed overnight, in silos and behind closed doors. They have not been vetted by criminal justice or public safety experts — leaving many of us in law enforcement quite concerned, as the impacts of these bills on public safety are largely unknown. This issue is far too important to approach haphazardly.
