Bill: Community Police Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Unión Demócrata Republicana Confederal
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: August 4423
Description[?]:
| The UDRC believes that the police role is not to defeat the enemies of the state but to protect and serve their communities. Having police in military camouflage, carrying military weapons and patrolling in armored or other military vehicles gives communities the appearance of an armed police confrontation. That public image differs from the traditional image of police as servants of the community. Our police should work closely with communities as part of the community policing philosophy not be a local army. We support to limit the powers of the government in using military personnel to enforce domestic policies within our nation. |
