This session the Maryland General Assembly passed a package of legislation to reform the culture of police departments and increase transparency between law enforcement and the citizens they serve. For too long, systemic racism and injustice has claimed the lives of countless African Americans. This sweeping package of reform measures is an important step toward putting an end to this discrimination.
