The issue of officers not being aware of new or updated policies was raised in the trials of an officer charged in the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who was injured in police custody and died a week later.
Commissioner Kevin Davis announced Tuesday that officers will access new policies through the apps and must take a quiz before signing off. The department launches the system July 1.
Davis made the announcement one day after Officer Edward Nero was acquitted of charges stemming from Gray's arrest. Nero said he wasn't aware of an updated policy requiring officers to seat belt prisoners.

They knew from at least as far back as just after the incident that policy communication and training was inconsistent and poorly documented. Chain of command was and is responsible.
ReplyDeleteGray still could take of his seat belt and hurt himself. Can't believe they are still trying to blame the seat belt. SA needs to be held accountable for abusing her position and let a judge or jury decide her fate.
ReplyDeleteThe out of control way Gray was acting he would have hurt himself with the seat belt on by banging his head on the wall. His own friend said he saw Freddie rocking the van for 2 blocks. That's when they stopped and put the leg restraints on him and laid him down on the floor which would be the safest place for an out of control person because seat belted on the seat and they could still band their heads on the wall.
