Day before thatObama signs 'Blue Alert' law to protect police
President Obama signs the Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu National Blue Alert Act of 2015 in the Oval Office of the White House Tuesday. The act, named after two police officers who were killed in New York, will assist the National Blue Alert system to apprehend violent criminals who have injured or killed police officers or who have made an imminent or credible threat to cause serious injury or death of a law enforcement officer.

WASHINGTON — President Obama has signed into law a measure that will require instant nationwide "Blue Alerts" to warn about threats to police officers and help track down the suspects who carry them out.
The Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu National Blue Alert Act of 2015 is named for the two New York Police Department officers killed in an ambush attack last December.
The assailant, Ismaaiyl Brinsley, had shot his girlfriend earlier in the day, and then threatened on his Instagram account to kill police officers in retaliation for the recent police killings in Ferguson, Mo. and New York City. But that information never made it to New York.
"They were serving their community with great honor and dedication and courage, and all of New York grieved and all of the nation grieved," Obama said in an Oval Office signing ceremony with the families of the slain officers. "It's important for us not only to honor their memory, it's also important for us to make sure that we do everything we can to help ensure the safety of our police officers when they're in the line of duty."
The law requires the Justice Department to create a notification system relating to assaults on police officers, officers who are missing in the line of duty, and credible treats against law enforcement. The system is modeled after Amber Alerts for abducted children and Silver Alerts for missing seniors.
It's the 12th bill Obama has signed into law so far this year.
Obama called the bill "the best of a bipartisan support for law enforcement." It was so uncontroversial that it passed both the House and the Senate by voice vote.

Why President Obama Is Taking Steps to Demilitarize Local Police Forces

Summary:
The President visits Camden, New Jersey to discuss the efforts his Administration is taking to end practices that stress community-police relations and promote practices that build more trust between a community and its police force.
Today, President Obama traveled to Camden, New Jersey -- a city that has struggled with one of the nation's highest violent crime rates.
Dedicated to building a stronger, safer community, the Camden County Police Department and the community have worked together to help police do their jobs more safely, to reduce crime, and to create more economic opportunity in communities that have been saddled with a history of isolation.
As President Obama said, it will take a concerted, "all-hands-on-deck" effort to change the odds for these communities:
If we as a society don’t do more to expand opportunity to everybody who’s willing to work for it, then we’ll end up seeing conflicts between law enforcement and residents. If we as a society aren’t willing to deal honestly with issue of race, then we can't just expect police departments to solve these problems. If communities are being isolated and segregated, without opportunity and without investment and without jobs -- if we politicians are simply ramping up long sentences for nonviolent drug crimes that end up devastating communities, we can't then ask the police to be the ones to solve the problem when there are no able-bodied men in the community, or kids are growing up without intact households.
That is why President Obama created the Task Force on 21st Century Policing, a coalition of community leaders and law enforcement that have been developing solutions that will help build and maintain trust and transparency in community policing.

In accordance with some of the Task Force recommendations, the President is taking steps to end practices that stress community-police relations and promote practices that build trust between a community and its police force:
What We Won't Do: Militarizing the Police
The first step the Administration is taking is to prohibit and limit the kinds of military equipment that law enforcement agencies can procure from the federal government. Here's what that means:
Law enforcement are now prohibited from acquiring:
Local police departments will also face limits on other federal enforcement equipment, including explosives, riot equipment, and wheeled armored or tactical vehicles. And if a department wants to acquire any controlled equipment, they must apply and provide detailed, clear, and persuasive explanation that justifies the request.
- Tracked armored vehicles
- Bayonets
- Grenade launchers
- Large caliber weapons and ammunition

What We Will Do: Using Data to Build Trust
The President launched the Police Data Initiative with police chiefs and technology officers from 21 jurisdictions across the country to work alongside community organizations and police associations to leverage open data that will identify problems early, increase internal accountability, and decrease inappropriate uses of force.
Here are the 21 cities that are joining in:
