Make investigations into police misconduct transparent.

If an individual files a complaint of police misconduct, they do not have the right to know how the complaint was investigated. They are only informed of the outcome of the investigation and whether any disciplinary measures were imposed. The public does not know whether the investigation was thorough. For example, what evidence did they look at, who was interviewed, did they review body camera footage? Secrecy about investigations is undermining the trust that police are being held accountable for their actions.
