Law Enforcement

A proposed set of conduct and discipline standards applicable to all law enforcement agencies in Oregon were published Monday.

According to the Salem Police Department, officers attempted to arrest a juvenile who was wanted for his alleged involvement in two shootings earlier this year. A shootout ensued and the young suspect was killed by police.

Authorities have identified the man shot and killed by Oregon State Police troopers and Clackamas County sheriff’s deputies early Saturday after a traffic stop and pursuit.

The U.S. Justice Department is opening a sweeping civil rights investigation into the Louisiana State Police amid mounting evidence that the agency has looked the other way in the face of beatings of mostly Black men, including the deadly 2019 arrest of Ronald Greene.

Plaintiffs describe being taken in unmarked vans, being deliberately shot at with rubber grenades and being wantonly hit on the head, among other complaints.

A person who was shot and severely injured by Portland police earlier this month has been released from the hospital.

Col. Steven McCraw of the Texas Department of Public Safety said Friday that the incident commander believed responders were dealing with a barricaded subject rather than an active shooter.

Law enforcement is still investigating the shooting at Robb Elementary School. But accounts from officials have offered a confusing look at the timeline of Tuesday's shooting.

Federal monitoring began in the wake of a corruption and brutality scandal two decades ago. Critics say progress is extremely fragile and remain worried about true progress.

The officers involved are part of the city’s newly formed gun violence-reduction team.
