Criminal Justice Department - Bad Cop Registry

This petition is a request for the Justice Department to establish a Bad Cop Registry. This registry would list any certified police officer that is fired, forced to resign, or diciplined by any police departments. Police Departments could utilize the Bad Cop Registry in their hiring process thus eliminating undesirable applicants from moving from one department to the next. Citizens who are subjected to police abuses could also use the registry to research past abuses by police officers and police departments. This Bad Cop Registry will not eliminate police abuse but will represent a starting point for citizens to gain equity in police affairs.
