H.B. 7146 An Act Concerning Intimidation on Account of Occupation as a Public Safety Employee
This proposal would pay lip service to protecting police and corrections workers without actually doing so. It is an unnecessary distraction from efforts to improve safety. Unlike crimes against other groups, there is no history of crimes against public safety employees being under-prosecuted.

S.B. 402 An Act Creating a State Office to Investigate Complaints Against Police Officers
S.B. 402 recognizes the state's police complaint process is broken. Rather than forcing police misconduct victims to navigate a confusing process, wait for years, and never see complaints resolved, the legislature should pass this bill to create a state office to handle complaints against police.

H.B. 5757 An Act Expediting Investigations of Officer-Involved Shootings That Result in Death
In Connecticut, family members and friends of people killed by police, and the public, wait an average of 14 months for the release of an investigative final public report on a fatal shooting incident. Some have been forced to wait three years. We encourage the legislature to support H.B. 5757.
