A police reform bill could go to Governor Holcomb as early as next week. The bill is the product of eight months of behind-the-scenes discussions and has the support of groups ranging from the NAACP, Indianapolis Urban League to the Fraternal Order of Police, and the conservative Americans for Prosperity. The bill bans chokeholds and requires officers to go through de-escalation training. It also makes it easier to yank the certification of officers who have committed misconduct. And it requires police departments to supply the full work record of an officer applying to another department.
