Police accountability is a bipartisan issue. Don’t let it become a prop in our political theater 

In May, I co-authored a piece for The Hill with my friend, Jillian Snider - the policy director of R Street's Criminal Justice and Civil Liberties team and a retired NYPD officer. Our piece was in response the political theater underway in Congress to usurp Washington D.C.'s locally-driven police reform bill. Fortunately, while the resolution passed, President Biden vetoed it - upholding D.C. residents ability to seek the type of policing they want - which, as we discuss in this piece included a number of commonsense police reform measures that have been passed in a number of states, including so-called purple and red states.

Biden can change federal policing practices and set the floor for policies nationwide

Recently, I published a commentary in the San Antonio Express-News detailing the ways in which the Biden administration can and should utilize its executive authority to enact reforms across the dozens of federal agencies employing over 130,000 federal law enforcement officers. Such an effort would both meet needed reforms in these agencies and set a path for local and state law enforcement.
