Calls for police transparency and training reforms grow in NC
More than 1,000 North Carolina law officers have faced revoked certifications for misconduct since the 1970s. Following George Floyd's death, calls for transparency and training rise locally as a state task force reviews officer recruitment, training, and whether disciplinary records should be public. Wellington Scott, retired Highway Patrol trainer, urges policy changes to curb misconduct and shift law enforcement culture.

Samuel J Battle first Black NYPD officer and trailblazer
Samuel J Battle moved from Connecticut to New York, joining the NYPD as the first officially hired Black officer in 1911. He broke barriers as the first Black sergeant in 1926, lieutenant in 1935, and parole commissioner in 1941, facing racism yet earning respect for his service. Battle retired in 1951 and died in 1966, with 135th Street Lenox Avenue later named Samuel J Battle Plaza in 2009. Next week’s feature will cover Moses Cobb, Battle’s brother-in-law and fellow barrier-breaker.
