Neptune Beach lawmaker who sponsored police reform bill hopes it addresses ‘lack of trust’
As calls for police reform continue and people are watching the movements of law enforcement now more than ever, a bill addressing use of force and police employment requirements unanimously passed both chambers of the Florida Legislature this week.
