Rancho Santa
Margarita, CA -
SACRAMENTO -Today, t Attorney General Kamala D.
Harris office announces that her, assembly members Reggie Jones- Sawyer and Rob
Bonta have introduced legislation to expand Principled Policing training to law
enforcement agencies across the state to address issues of implicit bias and
community trust.
The legislation, AB
2626, would require the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training
(POST) to create and offer a course for peace officers on procedural justice
and implicit bias. The new law enforcement training would be modeled on the
POST-certified course created by Attorney General Harris last year, the first
of its kind in the country.
In addition, AB 2626
would require POST to develop guidelines and trainings enabling peace officers
to teach the course to other officers in their agencies. If passed, the bill
will require POST to offer the basic principled policing course and the trainer
course beginning in June 2017.
The problem with this
type of legislation, is that the California government keeps growing an exponential rate with “training/reporting-
type of legislation, without any predefined success metrics or lifecycle
definition: In other words, if the
legislation works and it is no longer required, it should expire. If it does not work, then it should alsoi be
terminated.
We should stop
electing legislators, whose primary motivation is to see their names on pieces
of legislation. Instead, elect problem
solvers who understand and can use the Pareto Rule: That is, for every piece of legislation proposed,
four existing laws should be nixed.
