Antioch City Council passes police reform package
By Chris Campos article
ANTIOCH, Calif. - Police body cameras are part of a reform package endorsed by the Antioch City Council following a marathon 7.5-hour meeting Friday night.
Following a delayed public revelation of the in-custody death of Angelo Quinto in December and another in-custody death Wednesday, Mayor Lamar Thorpe announced a police reform program that he brought before the council in a special meeting. It s been a pretty turbulent week in the city of Antioch, Thorpe noted at the open of the meeting.
The mayor offered seven reform proposals to the council including: Mental health crisis response, officer training, demilitarization of police, bodycams and dashcams, independent review of complaints, hiring and screening and public notification for major incidents.
