(CN) Senate Bill 2, which would allow California to decertify police officers who show persistent misconduct or incidents of excessive force, passed an Assembly committee Tuesday morning, clearing another hurdle in what appears to be an all-but-certain trip to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk.
Widely regarded as the most aggressive police reform bill to be introduced in this legislative cycle, Senate Bill 2, authored by Senator Steven Bradford, a Democrat from Gardena, would create a process whereby police officers can have their certification removed in the instance where serious misconduct is revealed.
The Police Officers Research Association of California (PORAC) announced its endorsement for Mayor Katrina Foley’s campaign for Orange County Supervisor. Foley is seeking election to Orange County’s 2nd Supervisorial District, in an election that will be held on Tuesday, March 9, 2021.
Edgar Hampton, President of the Orange County Chapter of PORAC, released the following statement announcing the endorsement:
“Mayor Katrina Foley knows that public safety is the first job of our leaders, and her track record proves that she lives up to that responsibility. We trust Mayor Foley to work closely with law enforcement to keep neighborhoods safe and protect Orange County’s unique quality of life. Mayor Foley is the right choice for Orange County Supervisor, and we are proud to support her campaign.”
