With a goal of strengthening relationships between police and civilians, a Naperville-based organization is working to provide opportunities to improve but maintain the essence of a controversial criminal justice reform bill signed this week by Gov. J.B. Pritzker.
The passage of House Bill 3653, known as the Safe-T Act, was a significant step toward holding law enforcement accountable and ensuring equity in the criminal justice system, said Regina Brent, founder and president of Unity Partnership.
