Proposed recommendations on police oversight draw groups' ire

A coalition of Maryland organizations is calling for revisions to proposed recommendations on police oversight. The groups gathered Wednesday in Annapolis over emergency regulations for police accountability boards and administrative charging committees that are being set up in local communities. The coalition includes members of the American Civil Liberties Union, the NAACP, CASA and Jews United for Justice. They said they want to ensure transparency and they believe the proposals weaken police accountability. The groups claim a state board is overreaching and said local jurisdictions must be allowed to make their own regulations.
