All police officers in Greater Appalachia must now wear body cameras at all times or else they will face punishments, up to termination.
New officers are now trained in both implicit bias and de-escalation training. This training will provide them with the knowledge to be more aware and make them better enforcers of the law.
No-knock raids have been prohibited entirely within Greater Appalachia. Too many terrible incidents have been caused by these reckless tactics.
Facial recognition software has also been prohibited from being used as evidence in trials or for the purpose of keeping a database. This technology is still in development and it would simply foolish to give law enforcement free reign to use it now.
Police within Greater Appalachia have been demilitarized. No longer will local police departments have access to military grade equipment, it causes brutality and there's no need for it.
Chokeholds are dangerous, lethal and too unpredictable to be used in the line of duty. The murder of Eric Garner should never be forgotten, and most important it should never be replicated.
Habitual Offender laws, known more widely as Three-strikes laws, have been repealed from the law code. These laws are only made to feed the prison industrial complex, they do not lower crime rates and have been used to disproportionately send black men to prison.
Governor Mann has spoken to officers about the issues they face, and one of the most prevalent is mental health. Governor Mann wrote the Greater Appalachia Police Accountability Act, which established a police officer mental health program within the Department of Public Safety.
