Baldwin Backs Sweeping Police Overhaul Legislation

Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin is backing a sweeping bill to overhaul how police departments are run in the United States. Baldwin says too often police have to deal with issues that they’ve never been trained for. She says investing in improving the public safety response to issues of mental health, social work and addiction could result in improved safety for everyone. The bill also aims to change qualified immunity laws that protect police from being sued and requiring more use of force reporting by police departments.
