In response to the public outcry following George Floyd's death in 2020, police departments across the United States began implementing new protocols that encourage officers to report misconduct within their ranks. A prominent initiative is the 'If You See Something, Say Something' campaign, which aims to foster an environment where officers feel safe and empowered to speak out against inappropriate behavior.
