State report calls for greater police transparency
A task force founded by Gov. Roy Cooper in the wake of violent protests after the police killing of Minneapolis man George Floyd last summer makes dozens of recommendations to strengthen and support North Carolina’s law enforcement community, including several that would lead to greater transparency by law enforcement agencies.
“It’s high time that North Carolina’s open government laws move out of the basement and into the vanguard of the best open government states in the country,” said John Bussian, a Raleigh intellectual property and media attorney.
Currently, state laws make the disclosure of disciplinary records of state employees especially police and teachers difficult or impossible, which can perpetuate the hiring and continuing employment of so-called “bad apples.”
