Attorney General Josh Shapiro was in Pittsburgh yesterday unveiling the new database that helps track police misconduct.
A bill was signed into law last year by the state legislature to identify police officers with a history of “red flags.”
“Police and community agree that officers with a pattern of misconduct do not make our community safer,” Shapiro said. “They should not be allowed to go from department to department. And misconduct records need to follow those officers.”
The law requires that all police departments across the state participate in the new database.
Shapiro also touted that the bill passed with bipartisan support.
