Have the recent events and the press response to those events had any kind of impact on your officers or made them more likely to employ strategies and tactics that might actually compromise their safety or the safety of the community . Sheriff clarke mr. Chair, congressman, without a doubt its part of the Tipping Point that i talked about. You know, we need balance obviously and obviously when we find balance maintaining is going to be more difficult. An officer delaying that thing thats telling him or her to do a certain thing that doesnt happen and may cost them their lives but let me say this about the use of body cameras. I am for this, the use of this technology. I think its a force multiplier. It can only help. But what ive been advising, i think were rushing into this because we will end up with a law of unintended consequences. There are privacy issues involved. It potentially could lead to fewer people wanting to come forward and cooperate with the police, especially in our n
Do they want more or less of a Police Presence . They complain more about the actions of the police or inactions of the police . Sheriff clark they ask for more. They complain about both and i think that is human nature. A want safer neighborhoods. They know they will have to have policing in these high crime areas to get that done. It is situational. They complain about slow calls for service responses. Things like that which can have an effect on a persons trust in their lawenforcement agency. In other words, we call but they dont come.

There is no doubt about that. But i think sometimes, this i believe it exists, this lack of trust

When we talk about equity, that is simply to underscore make sure that you are recognizing whatever biases you bring to the table. Make sure youre making your decision on the outcome in an equitable way. Always leave with the person youre interacting with with their dignity in tact, and act with dignity yourself. A lot of officers will mock when we use an acronym. I get that. But its also a very effective way to teach very speck beific behaveior behavior. Studies have shown that people care how theyre treated by police more than the outcome of a police encounter. Police that may pull people over for a driving offense may find people care more about whether they were treated fairly by a Police Officers rather than if they got the ticket. As youve acknowledged in the past empathy and patience do not necessarily come naturally for some police recruits.
Attorney general eric holder did a study in conjunction with the National Institute of justice on traffic stop data. They found that when you use control factors that statistics and research require for legitimate findings any Racial Disparities are attributed to differences in offending. The studies showed that black drivers violated speeding and other traffic laws at much greater rates than whites. That conclusion of the study under eric holder led d. O. J. Might be ugly to some but is what the data and research have found. That same study showed that three out of every four black drivers said the police had a legitimate reason for stopping them. The same is true in arrest and incarceration data for africanamerican males. Participation rates in Violent Crime explain the disparity of why so many black males are locked up in prison.
