Chief of Police Darryl Albert says the incident is prompting a renewed commitment to transparency with the community.
MPD has maintained the policy of never releasing body camera footage. However, Albert said they are considering changing that policy.
At the Montgomery Police Academy, Albert said officers are trained on civil unrest, implicit bias, use of force, and de-escalation. Albert described the deadly beating of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police officers as “horrifying” and “disheartening to all of law enforcement.” Albert said what happened in Memphis demonstrates a lack of accountability and a lack of transparency, which is the opposite of what MPD is trying to achieve.
