Ben Hall news conference on accountability policy for Houston Police
Share this story:
Houston Mayoral Candidate Ben Hall will hold a news conference Tuesday, August 11th at 2:00 pm to unveil a comprehensive accountability policy for Houston Police.
Hall’s announcement comes amidst new protests in Ferguson, Missouri and another controversial police shooting in Arlington, Texas.
“Too many of our children are dying at the hands of police under questionable circumstances and too many citizens simply do not trust the police,” says Hall. “Houston needs to lead the nation on reform so that police encounters do not begin for the wrong reasons or end in unnecessary deaths.”
Ben is uniquely qualified to lead this reform. As a former City Attorney under Mayor Bob Lanier he understands the cost to taxpayers of litigation relating to alleged police brutality. As a private attorney he represented Chad Holley in a police brutality case.
To enhance trust and mutual respect, Hall will detail his initiative called L.E.A.P. — which stands for Law Enforcement Accountability Policy.
Full details of the plans will be released tomorrow, and L.E.A.P. will include mandatory body cameras and a Civilian Review Board with subpoena powers.
The news conference will begin at 2:00 pm at the Hall Law Firm at 530 Lovett Blvd. Media inquiries should be directed to Dolcefino Consulting at 713-389-0810.
