UCLM urges city council to approve software to identify officers at risk of misconduct

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The United Christian Leadership Ministry is urging Rochester City Council to approve new software for Rochester Police to use.

The Benchmark Analytics First Sign software is designed to help law enforcement agencies identify officers at risk of misconduct. Rochester City Council is expected to vote this week on the proposal.

The United Christian Leadership Ministry says both police and the community would benefit from the ability to identify early signs of officers at-risk to themselves or others.

When agencies can step in to provide the needed support, training, or other intervention, the ministry says harm can be prevented.

United Christian Leadership Ministry says it supports Rochester Police Department’s proposal to purchase Benchmark Analytics’ First Sign software. It helps identify officers at risk of misconduct. City Council will soon vote on the purchase of this system this week. pic.twitter.com/yWbkKwb12t
