https://jillpcarter.com/about/

(BALTIMORE, MD) —“This takes an emotional toll on you, every death, every abuse, every time that our humanity is not recognized by this government… it’s painful…”- Senator Jill Carter

On Saturday, Maryland lawmakers enacted multiple police reform measures by overriding Governor Larry Hogan’s veto of the bills. 

 

The extensive measures include a new statewide use-of-force policy, expansion of public access to records in disciplinary cases and limiting the use of no-knock warrants. 

Maryland State Senator Jill P. Carter joins Dr. Kaye to discuss the police reform measures and why she believes it will increase transparency and restore trust in police.
