The ACLU-CT is committed to ending police violence and racism in policing in all forms. Accountability measures alone are not enough. Connecticut must also divest from policing and reinvest in programs that build strong and safe communities.

The changes to the appointment process that this testimony outlines would create legal clarity for this new office. With our suggested changes, we would be supportive of this bill and the important steps forward it contains. Until that change is made, though, we must, unfortunately, oppose Senate Bill 892.
