Pat, I just read your overview of the Legislature’s efforts to clarify police use of force responsibilities, etc., re: HB 1310. Once again, I think you gathered relevant info nicely, summarized the situation well, and gave us an ordered overview of how the state law has been focused better and clarified the duties and responsibilities of local law enforcement. Your previous column(s) helped us understand the nuances of what police departments were not doing previously, as a result of HB 1310, and now you have elucidated us on how the Legislature has cleared the murky water. Thanks.
