Police revise procedures after brutality charges surge
State police in Middletown revise arrest protocols after trials reveal alleged brutality. New rules require strip searches for male felons with photo documentation when justified, presence of a trooper during searches, and female defendants searched by matron with no photos. Reforms include updated arrest forms, stricter force laws reviews, and potential perjury prosecutions for false brutality claims.
