Policing

Police say the men were caught after an operation was carried out by a concerned citizens group affiliated with Colorado Ped Patrol, whose members pose as underage children.

The program dispatches mental health specialists and paramedics instead of police for certain nonviolent emergency calls has resulted in more people accepting assistance.

The event comes as Philadelphia City Council considers a bill that would bar police from pulling over people solely for minor traffic violations.

Gov. John Carney has signed off on a statewide police camera program that Delaware lawmakers unanimously approved last month.

The Superior Court’s chief judge agreed with the attorney general that the ex-chief’s actions amounted to an ‘infamous crime’ that barred him from office.

A jury still found two Pa. constables guilty on a lesser charge: failing to disclose wages they made while working on behalf of Energy Transfer.

Marty Watson had just put gas in her tank when the episode started. Police have not responded to a request for comment.

The effort was called Operation 24/7, with more than a dozen agencies targeting online child predators in the Garden State.

The unusual request is the beginning of a potentially long legal process that has delayed the trial of the first on-duty Philly officer charged with murder in nearly 20 years.

Delaware cops will no longer be able to avoid prosecution for shooting a suspect by saying they believed an officer or someone else was in imminent danger of death.

The Wilmington lawmaker sponsoring the measure has put it on hold, citing uncertain backing because of opposition from police groups.

The punishment exceeds the state's minimum guidelines but falls short of prosecutors' request of a 30-year sentence.

Judge Peter Cahill denied the request Friday, saying defense attorney Eric Nelson has not shown that abused its discretion and denied Chauvin the right to a fair trial.

The bill is rooted in recent data that show Philadelphia police pull over a disproportionate number of Black drivers for minor traffic violations.

Advocates say a new federal holiday is nice, but it’s no substitute for policy change. On the federal level, most of the big proposals have stalled.
