SB5974 Law Enforcement Leadership Bill Passed!!! 🎉🎉 (147 actions!) This legislation simply requires that all police sheriffs, marshalls, and volunteers comply with existing legislation for background checks, training, and certification.

The BAD HB 1137 End Long-Term Solitary Confinement HB 1317 Second Look Pathway for Youth Unfortunately both these sentencing reform bills died in the House Appropriations Committee. We will be back in 2027 to fight for sentencing reform!

Contact the Governor’s office and tell Ferguson to sign the bill as is! Law Enforcement Leadership Bill: SB 5974 Read more

Law Enforcement Leadership Bill: SB 5974 Action Items: ✔︎ Call the Governor's office 360-902-4111 And Tell Governor Ferguson - Sign the Bill AS IS and do NOT veto any portion of this bill.

SB 5974 is a simple, common sense bill. Today about 95% of all law enforcement personnel are fully within the scope of the existing system in Washington State. This legislation simply requires that all police sheriffs, marshals, and volunteers comply with existing legislation for background checks, training, and certification. This legislation will make it clear that the law covers sheriffs, police chiefs, and town marshals and brings reserve officers and volunteers into the same system. This law will increase public trust in law enforcement, improve police accountability, and improve public safety.

Anyone can run for sheriff. This law will simply ensure that a sheriff would have to pass a background check and go through academy training within 12 months of taking office. Sheriffs would still be allowed to use volunteers for search and rescue, events, and natural disasters. This legislation would require that any volunteers using police authority must be certified.

Last action! Contact the office of Governor Ferguson to tell him to sign SB 5974 as is. See profile Linktree for actions. Thank you! #WAstateleg #wastatelegislature #PeoplePowerWA #socialaction #socialactionwa

Although 95% of all law enforcement is subject to the same background checks, training, and certification requirements - through a loophole in existing law there are some who are exempt. These changes will help ensure that all persons with law enforcement authority are subject to the same standards for accountability, and improve public safety.

Increase police oversight: ESSB 5925 Attorney General Investigations and Reform ACT Learn more

ESSB 5925 bill allows the Attorney General’s office to investigate police agencies for systemic practices that violate citizen rights as protected by the Washington State Constitution. At present the only way to hold police departments accountable for practices of discriminatory policing is for the US Department of Justice (DOJ) to bring a lawsuit or consent decree to affect change. The Trump administration has ordered a halt to pursuing federal consent decrees.

Unfortunately legal language related to the Use of Deadly Force, law enforcement tactics and equipment were all removed from the bill via a Senate amendment. ESSB 5925 Has a Hearing in the House Civil Rights & Judiciary Wednesday January 18th at 8 am.

Black text on blue background: Surveillance decreases safety for all Washingtonians especially for vulnerable communities. The Driver Privacy Bills are an important step to protecting the safety and constitutional rights of Washingtonians.

Black text on blue background: However, the 72-hour retention period for non-hits, and longer periods for specific uses, allows invasive location tracking of vulnerable groups, including immigrant, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC communities, as well as those seeking reproductive or gender-affirming care.

Black text on blue background: A 3-hour retention period for non-hits and limiting specific use retention periods to the shortest possible will better protect Washington residents. The bill should be amended to disallow third party vendors from accessing the data. Allowing third party vendors to access the data creates a giant loophole that will certainly be exploited.

Help get the bills amended! SB 6002 + HB 2332 Action Items: ✔︎ sign in OTHER
