FEATURE
Recent incidents across the country – from Baton Rouge to Minneapolis to Dallas – have drawn increased attention to issues surrounding police and police violence. Many police departments are pledging to alter the ways officers are trained. In Bloomington, police chief Mike Diekhoff says officers are undergoing training related to many subjects, including mental health and community policing. And he says there have been changes since the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, almost two years ago. Still, many activists and scholars have questioned whether more police training can substantially address the ongoing issues related to violence against black Americans. Yesterday, Chief Diekhoff spoke with WFHB News Director Joe Crawford about how Bloomington officers are trained for today’s WFHB community report.
