Morano identified the need for this training program in December, largely in part because of the incident involving officer McDermott and officer Diaz.

It is a very strong policy, and we don't expect or even want departments to adopt it fully, but it is an excellent guide. The goal of this program is to raise awareness. We want departments to train their employees and develop their own policies.
