Issue Position
Issues: Criminal Justice
Do you believe RI should reform its Law Enforcement Officers Bill of Rights, and if so, in what way, to remedy what problems with the current law?
Yes the LEOBOR should be reformed to remedy many of the issues we are facing today. Some of the reforms should should include a public "right-to-know" the names of officers guilty of any criminal or intentional conduct. Secondly, to give Police Chiefs the authority to suspend officers for minor violations for up to 30 days without pay. Also to increase the LEOBOR committee by 2 members of which should include someone from the R.I Human Rights Commission and a Superior Court Judge. -Representative Lombardi
