Jennifer Carroll Foy announces plan to strengthen civilian review boards

Jennifer Carroll Foy announces plan to strengthen civilian review boards Published Sunday, May. 23, 2021, 6:51 pm Join AFP s 100,000+ followers on Facebook Purchase a subscription to AFP Subscribe to AFP podcasts on iTunes and Spotify News, press releases, letters to the editor: augustafreepress2@gmail.com Jennifer Carroll Foy Democratic gubernatorial nomination candidate Jennifer Carroll Foy has announced a plan to expand civilian review boards. “Unfortunately, this data released by the Community Policing Act is not surprising to so many of us in the Commonwealth,” Carroll Foy said. “Virginians lived firsthand the hurt and harm inflicted by inequities in our criminal justice system for generations. Now the question is, what are we going to do to ensure that our justice system is truly just, fair, and equitable? How will we make sure unfair stops don’t happen in the first place, and how will we hold bad actors accountable when stops go horribly wrong?”

Black drivers more likely than white drivers to be stopped in Virginia

New policing data shows Black drivers in Virginia are stopped and searched at a higher rate than white drivers. The numbers released under Virginia’s new Community Policing Act show Black drivers are almost two times more likely than white drivers to be pulled over by police. Black drivers were three times more likely to have their vehicles searched. In stops where searches ended in arrests, 23% of drivers ultimately arrested were Black, compared with 27% who were white. Starting last July, all police in Virginia were required to begin listing demographic information about who they stopped and why. The report on the first six months of data includes more than 400,000 traffic stops from almost every police and sheriff’s office in Virginia.

Virginia lawmakers kill bill requiring officers render aid, report wrongdoing

Virginia lawmakers kill bill requiring officers render aid, report wrongdoing Andrew Ringle By: Capital News Service and last updated 2021-02-16 21:44:27-05 RICHMOND, Va. A Senate committee recently killed a bill intended to minimize police misconduct and incentivize accountability among law enforcement. House Bill 1948, introduced by Del. Mark Levine, D-Alexandria, required law enforcement officers to report misconduct by fellow officers. Another part of the measure, which some opponents called too subjective, was that on-duty officers provide aid as circumstances objectively permitted to someone suffering a life-threatening condition, or serious bodily injury. The bill also expanded the current definition of bias-based profiling, which is prohibited in Virginia, to include gender identity and sexual orientation. Bias-based profiling is when a police officer takes action solely based on an individual’s real or perceived race, age, ethnicity or gender.
