Virginia Pushing For Police Decertification Over Excessive Force

The video discusses efforts to decertify problem police officers in Virginia to prevent them from moving to other departments after misconduct. Current Virginia law only allows decertification if officers are convicted of a crime, fail a drug test, or miss a mandatory meeting. Proposed changes aim to include excessive force and lying as reasons for decertification. The Senate has approved the bill, reflecting public concerns about police conduct. Virginia is among many states re-evaluating police disciplinary policies, with only 44 states contributing to a national decertification index.
