There's a database whose mission is to stop problematic police officers from hopping between departments. But many agencies don't know it exists

When a police officer leaves their department because of misconduct, there's no easy public way for people to know if they're rehired elsewhere in law enforcement.
One of the most notable recent cases was Timothy Loehmann, the former Ohio officer who shot and killed Tamir Rice in 2014. CNN's Jason Hanna, Amanda Watts, Jessica Suerth and Dana Ford contributed to this report. Loehmann was fired from the Cleveland police force in May 2017 after an internal review panel investigating Tamir's shooting found he lied or omitted crucial information in his application's personal history statement.More Related News
