“You’ve read the headlines about police shootings. Law enforcement is a critical element of civil society, yet it seems that the use of force by police is getting out of control. What do we really know about how law enforcement operates in Utah and nationally? What kind of data are collected by law enforcement agencies with regard to use of force? What kind of data need to be collected? What kind of training in de-escalation and social interaction do police officers receive? What additional training should they be getting? Take time out to consider creating more just, humane, and effective law enforcement.”
