Coast, near 80 degrees inland.

New tonight at 11... a new public data base set up by the state of oregon to track police disciplinary action is now up and running.

Kezi nine news reporter connor mccarthy joins us live in the studio to show us what this will mean for law enforcement in*our area and the fight by activists to hold police accountable.

Chynna-- this is big news in the fight for police reform.

This new data base... run by the department of public safety standards and training... was authorized by house bill 42-0-7.

This was one of the first bills passed by the state legislature during the special session to target police reform.

This is what it looks like on the d- p-s-s-t's website.

As you can see..

Any officer who has had disciplinary action will have their name... their law enforcement agency...what type of law enforcement agency... and documents related to their discipline... all listed for the public to see.

The bill also lays out an officer*cannot be hired by an agency if they have been fired for... obtaining flase confessions.... making false arrests... creating or using falsified evidence... depriving a person of their legal rights... and used their poistion for personal gain chynna-- other interesting notes about this bill is that the d-p-s-s-t has to publish any disciplinary action within 10 days.

And law enforcement agency's have to keep personal records of their officers after they leave for 10 years.

If you would like to read the full bill... there is a link on our website.
