On police de-escalation, Dallas is a national leader | Opinion
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and Texas Sen. John Cornyn celebrated the Law Enforcement De-Escalation Training Act during a roundtable discussion about the new law at the Dallas Police Academy on Feb. 22.Shifting police training from a warrior mentality to a servant mindset is something cities across the country have to grapple with. Improving police training methods is a step toward a safer and more just society. We are proud that Dallas is leading the way on these efforts.
The Law Enforcement De-Escalation Training Act authored by Cornyn is a great achievement for the country and Texas. Cornyn’s bipartisan work stands out when members of his own party are hesitant or hostile about taking excessive use of force seriously. The new federal grants will be used to train officers to better engage people in need of mental health services and social programs.
Many police officers do not recognize or give voice to the help they need. The great majority of police officers are doing their jobs the right way and providing a critical service to our cities. It’s a job few want or can do. We must ensure that officers who need help get it. Our country needs more insight into the stressors faced by officers and their families. Until then, the larger problems with policing will be that much harder to address.the department has made major strides in providing mental health services
