Last week, my colleagues and I introduced our bipartisan police improvement & community trust bill package, with the support of many law enforcement leaders, gun violence leaders, community organizations, advocates and faith leaders.
Every day, our police officers put their lives on the line for Michigan residents to keep our communities safe. Yet we have seen too many instances here in Michigan and across the country of tragic deaths and injuries due to police misconduct, causing immense pain and mistrust, especially in our communities of color.
With this commonsense legislation, we can and will do both: honor our officers who uphold their oath to serve with integrity and compassion, as well as ensure that our community members are safe by ensuring strong law enforcement standards. And, in doing so, we will not only strengthen the law enforcement profession and build community trust — we will also save lives.
Our bill package includes: use of force policy requirements; implicit bias and behavioral health training; duty to intervene; limits on no knock warrants; accountability for bodycam tampering; background checks/license revocation; stem the tide of bad cops agency hopping; and more.

Now, the water affordability package presents an opportunity to shine a positive light on our state by making good on their campaign season promises to ease the burden on families.
Water is life. Everyone needs and deserves access to it — regardless of income, race or place." #mileg #WaterAffordability
