Bargaining in Blue, a monthly newsletter from Ballotpedia, provides news and information on police collective bargaining agreements (CBAs), including the latest news, policy debates, and insights from Zenger News’s analysis of police CBAs in all 50 states and the top 100 cities by population.
In this month’s edition of Bargaining in Blue, we examine internal investigation procedures for police officers accused of misconduct. We review the union response to an investigation in Baltimore, Maryland; arguments from scholars and the media on investigation procedures, as well as the relationship between the number of police officers and crime rates; and insights on the topic from Zenger News’s analysis of police CBAs in all 50 states and the top 100 cities by population.
