Many cities in Massachusetts pushed to change policing last year. But the NBC10 Boston Investigators found some measures they adopted months ago are still being put into practice.
It’s been nearly a year since demonstrators in Boston took to the streets calling for an end to racism and violence in policing.
But after those demonstrations, how much has changed?
The NBC10 Boston Investigators put that question to officials in three Massachusetts communities, asking how they’ve implemented plans for police reform that surfaced in the wake of last summer’s events.
In Boston, former Mayor Marty Walsh adopted a series of recommendations from a police reform task force in October 2020.
