Bill overview
This bill aimed to improve public safety by requiring Massachusetts law enforcement departments to provide resources that would help officers make more accurate statements. Specifically, it sought to ensure officers had adequate support and training to ensure the reliability of their testimony. The bill was ultimately unsuccessful and failed to pass the legislature. It was referred to the Public Safety and Homeland Security committee and subsequently accompanied a study order.
