Having more personnel from minority groups is one of the key steps that can be taken by the Ferguson police department and other departments that struggle with gaining trust among the populace, former New York police commissioner Ray Kelly said this morning.
Kelly, who served as commissioner under New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, was well trusted by law enforcement and vigorously defended the city’s stop-question-and-frisk policy, which was heavily criticized by activist groups.
Earlier in the segment, Kelly identified a couple particular failures of the Ferguson government: failure to disseminate as much information as possible following the incident, including what the police department did and did not know, and failure to treat Michael Brown’s body properly (it laid at the crime scene for four hours).
