Police oversight board members met Tuesday night to discuss reforms to DPD's internal affairs policies.
The push for reform stems from mounting pressure on the department from local activists, civil rights groups and the department’s former chief Reneé Hall.that Dallas may be ahead of some standards recommended by the U.S. Department of Justice. But there also may be examples of the chief acknowledging some things were missed, he said.For example, Dallas policies require officers to wear body cameras while they are on patrol, he said.
The investigation found that Dallas’ internal affairs officers are not required to record interviews or have formal investigative experience.also revealed that the department does not have a written procedure for when to consult with prosecutors to determine whether an accused officer should be investigated for criminal wrongdoing. The internal affairs unit investigates alleged misconduct by officers but does not have the ability to recommend criminal charges against them.
Some board members said some federal standards made sense. One requirement would demand that investigators record interviews with witnesses and police officers.Other board members asked that the board explore the federal guidelines and determine whether the department is following those guidelines.
