• ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY

  • End qualified immunity for police officers and replace it with mandatory licensing and insurance covering their professional activities.

  • Mandate that professional insurance coverage for police officers be revoked for any officer terminated because of their actions in any officer-involved shooting so that that officer is no longer eligible to work as a police officer in the state of Ohio.

  • Adopt and standardize specific policies restricting the use of deadly force. Officers shall not shoot their firearm:

    • If a community member is unarmed

    • If a community member is running away or trying to withdraw

    • If a community member is driving away or sitting in a parked car

    • If a community member is not armed with anything that could pose a threat including knives, screwdrivers, etc.

    • If the officer is alone.

  • All use-of-force complaints must be reviewed by the local community review board. Officers who have a complaint of excessive force must be furloughed (unpaid) until the complaint is resolved via a partnership with the impacted family or community members, the county prosecutor, and the representatives of that officer.

  • Disciplinary records of police officers must be searchable and accessible public records.
