Harris County leaders passed a package of 11 criminal justice reform measures, just hours after attending George Floyd’s funeral.

“The analysis shall consider elements such as subpoena power, independence from law enforcement, authority to discipline, necessary resources and access to specially trained non-law enforcement investigators,” said Commissioner Rodney Ellis, who proposed the measure.

The other items that passed were:

“Reforming law enforcement practices and holding police accountable for these killings are important,” Commissioner Ellis said.

The county will study whether we can establish an independent board that can investigate, has teeth, independent funds and can make recommendations that have weight,” Commissioner Ellis said.

“We are calling for a comprehensive examination of our budget priorities, and what we can do to most effectively use the people’s resources to uplift our communities and make them safer while eliminating and divesting from structures that criminalize people based on their class, race or health,” Commissioner Ellis said.
