Des Moines police: City hiring nonprofit to do de-escalation training

Following months of public criticism of a small team of officers charged with leading de-escalation training for the Des Moines Police Department that included two officers named in excessive force and racial profiling lawsuits, the city will hire a third party to run its future training sessions. In the middle of a public-comment period at Monday’s Des Moines City Council meeting, Mayor Frank Cownie announced the city is in the process of negotiating a contract with the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that provides resources for law enforcement units across the country. Our current de-escalation training session has come to a close and we are announcing a partnership with PERF, Cownie said. That isn’t ready to put on the council agenda, but I think the general public should know that’s where we’re going for our next stage of training.

This is the state of policing in America a year after George Floyd was killed

This is the state of policing in America a year after George Floyd was killed In the year that has passed since the nation was confronted with harrowing video showing a Minneapolis police officer killing George Floyd, police and politicians across the country have been scrutinizing the failures in police leadership, culture and training that Floyd’s murder exposed as they seek to redefine policing in America. Police leaders in major cities are incorporating lessons learned from the Floyd case into their use of force policies, such as the obligation of fellow officers to intervene in excessive force incidents, rendering first aid to those harmed by police, and holding officers accountable by their colleagues for complaints and allegations of misconduct.

Proposals introduced to ban use of tear gas and projectile crowd-control measures As peaceful protests gave way to unrest in downtown Madison in the days following Floydâs death last summer, authorities were seen on video using tear gas and other projectiles in an attempt to disperse crowds, often leading to people throwing the canisters back in the direction of police. Authorities did acknowledge using chemical agents on the crowds in the early days of protests and unrest, but did hold off while largely standing back and observing protests later in the summer
