BART police oversight bill signed into law
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.
BART cops will use a community policing model in the coming months, a policy change enacted following the second shooting death of an civilian by police last summer, according to the Bay Citizen.
