BREAKING NEWS ALERT
Mayor Martin J. Walsh announced a plan for a slate of reforms to the Boston Police Department on Tuesday, embracing a series of sweeping changes proposed by a task force that spent months examining the operations and culture of the nation’s oldest police force.

The city will move to create an independent police watchdog agency with full investigative and subpoena power, expand the police department’s body-worn camera program, and enhance the agency’s use of force policies, Walsh said at a City Hall news conference. The city will also create a new Diversity and Inclusion unit and seek to amend civil service rules, allowing for a new recruitment “pipeline” for a diverse swath of Boston residents.

“These are bold steps,” Walsh said, noting that he endorses every task recommendation. He also set a 180-day timeline to implement the reforms. “I will use every tool at my disposal to make this a reality,” he said.
