Post-Chauvin verdict, Colorado considers new police reforms
By JAMES ANDERSONApril 21, 2021 GMT
DENVER (AP) A day after a former Minneapolis police officer was convicted in the killing of George Floyd, Colorado lawmakers considered legislation Wednesday to tighten standards set by a sweeping police accountability law adopted last year following protests over Floyd’s murder.
The bill, sponsored by Democratic Reps. Leslie Herod and Serena Gonzales-Gutierrez, seeks in part to encourage officers to use their body cameras; strengthen investigations of use of force incidents; and promote “de-escalation techniques” in police encounters with citizens.
The measure aims to deter and avoid police shootings and other deadly uses of force by increasing accountability and sanctions required of officers and their departments.
