Newly Revealed Records Expose Police Misconduct in Departments Across the State
Category: News & Politics

Description:

Police departments across California must make public records of serious officer misconduct and use of force, according to a recent ruling by a state appellate court in San Francisco. The ruling affirmed that California’s new police transparency law requires the release of pre-2019 records, despite more than a dozen lawsuits brought by law enforcement unions. Since the law became effective earlier this year, a coalition of news organizations, including KQED, has obtained hundreds of police department records revealing misconduct including the filing of false reports and lying to internal affairs investigators. We’ll talk to reporters Alex Emslie and Thomas Peele about their ongoing investigations stemming from newly released records.
