Take Action

Police Officer Bills of Rights exist to enshrine a set of protections into state law that almost guarantee that officers cannot be held accountable, and limit Mayors and other leaders from taking swift and necessary action when warranted.

Here's what to say:
  • We need to repeal this bill of rights now. There’s no need to for these protections for police officers, especially because they don’t serve to protect the public.
  • This isn’t about due process. Due process exists to ensure that officers are treated fairly. This law guarantees that officers have a level of protection in the discipline process that nearly guarantees no accountability.
  • Police unions wield too much power, already. And you, our elected officials, can change this now.
