BART prepares for review of its police department
BART is preparing to review its transit police department culture, hiring, training and policies in the wake of the fatal shooting of a passenger by a transit police officer.
A BART police oversight bill signed into law will take effect on Jan 1, 2011, exactly two years after a BART police officer shot and killed an unarmed passenger on the Fruitvale station platform in Oakland, BART officials announced Friday.
