Nevada AG Moving on Police Reform

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford has sent state lawmakers an ambitious list of police reform proposals that, if passed, could ban practices like chokeholds and give the attorney general’s office power to investigate police department practices. The “Legislative Options for Policing Reform List,” written by Ford’s staff, offers an idea of the policies being put in front of lawmakers for consideration. In the list, Ford outlines 73 policy options that state lawmakers could take up when the Legislature next convenes — either in 2021 or a yet-to-be-announced special session.
