WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following a week of protests across Delaware and the nation in response to George Floyd’s killing by police officers and continued police brutality towards Black citizens, today, Citizens for a Pro-Business Delaware (CPBD) released a statement of support for the protests.

The group also announced it is expanding its platform for improving transparency, accountability and diversity in Delaware to include police reform measures proposed by the Delaware NAACP to curb law enforcement’s use of excessive force and introduce accountability. CPBD will advocate for mandatory body cameras for police officers, diversity programs to increase recruiting and hiring of Black and Brown police officers, and the abolition of a provision in the Delaware Law Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights that allows results of investigations to be concealed from the public.
