Reminding the Judiciary and Law Enforcement Committee of Waukesha County of the inequalities that exist in our society, believing that these measures can mitigate or prevent race-related incidents in the future,

Deeply disturbed by the deaths of many citizens from race-related police brutality across the nation,

We, the signatories, strongly urge you to implement the following steps to improve our county’s police departments and prevent police brutality in Waukesha County:

Encourages the use of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programs by departments;

Prohibit police from profiling based on race or religion;

Encourages the use of body cameras for officers on patrol;

Requires officers to turn on body cameras before all encounters with a civilian;

Penalize officers who do not have their cameras on and injure a civilian;

Forbid officers who have been fired from one precinct for racial complaints from transferring to another department within Waukesha county.
