URGENT Action Needed: Limited Window for Police Accountability Reforms
Call to Action: Help Us Pass Vital Police Accountability Legislation
Time is running out to advance crucial police accountability reforms in the Michigan House of Representatives. Three important bills—SB1091, use of excessive force policy requirements, SB1092 to implement de-escalation training, and SB1094 limiting no-knock warrants—have already cleared the Senate and are awaiting action in the House. With the legislative schedule in flux, we need your help to ensure these bills get the attention they deserve.
Recent headlines show that police accountability is still a pressing issue. From racial profiling to body cam tampering, we cannot afford to wait any longer to pass these reforms.
- Urge lawmakers to address the passage of SB 1091 (Use of Force policy requirements), SB 1092 (Training Requirements), and SB 1094 (Limiting No-Knock Warrants).
- Show your support for important reforms that increase transparency, accountability, and community trust.
- Demand action on legislation that has widespread public backing and can prevent future incidents of police misconduct.
