Stop & Frisk: the bill retains original language banning police from the "frisk" part of stop and frisk (searching a person without probable cause). That would be a big step forward.

Use of Force Standard: The bill’s section regarding the use of force standard is an improvement over the original bill. The section still doesn't go far enough to require prosecutors to hold police accountable but would be an improvement over the standard currently in CT law.

Decertification: The section regarding decertification of police seems to be unchanged from the original version. This section relies on police policing themselves – POSTC, which already has decertification powers that it rarely, if ever, uses, is a majority police agency.

Inspector General: The bill retains the creation of an office of the inspector general, which would create a new prosecutorial office to investigate & prosecute police who harm & kill CT residents.
