SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The state budget that takes effect on Wednesday includes $20 million in grants for local law enforcement agencies, but lawmakers are linking the money to the national debate over killings by police.
Agencies accepting the money will have to report on the number of times their officers use enough force to result in a hospitalization or death.
“We don’t even know how many deaths are caused of California citizens as a result of force by police, because we don’t even collect that data,” said Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee.
“I think this is something long overdue, because you can’t address the situation if you don’t know what you’re talking about,” he added. “This will not be a comprehensive report but it will give us a better idea than we have now.”
