Tomorrow, Friday, July 17 at 10:00 a.m., the Judiciary Committee will hold a public listening session webinar on An Act Concerning Police Accountability. This bill was drafted to examine issues that exist between our law enforcement personnel, and the people they serve. With your help and feedback, we hope the final legislation is something we can all support. Whether you are a current or former law enforcement professional, or a concerned member of the public, you may either submit written testimony or testify virtually before the committee on this very important issue.

Here are the instructions:

Submitting Written Testimony Online

2) Put “Testimony on Draft LCO #3471” in the subject line.

3) Include your name and town.

4) Those wishing to watch the session live or on-demand may do so on Connecticut Network (CT-N).

Written testimony is highly encouraged, but those wishing to speak before the committee should follow the instructions below.
