Judge permanently blocks Washington sheriff standards law
Original: Judge permanently blocks WA sheriff standards law
A judge has permanently blocked Washington state's law establishing standards for sheriffs, ruling against the measure in a decision reported by Washington State Standard. The law had required sheriffs to meet training and certification requirements. The ruling stops the state from enforcing those standards, and the decision is likely to fuel ongoing debate over law enforcement accountability and local control in Washington.
Why now: A court ruling against a state law on sheriff standards is a significant development in the law enforcement accountability debate.
