RadioOnFire.com - Changes are on their way to the Baltimore City Police Department's use of force policy.
The changes include de-escalation of situations and immediate medical attention for anyone who claims they are injured.
Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis and Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced the changes on Wednesday.
Despite the Department of Justice investigation and last year's death of Freddie Gray, Mayor Rawlings-Blake says changes were already on their way.
The policy has more than doubled, from six to 14 pages and it includes stronger language on sanctity of life and the de-escalation of situations.
They changes take effect July 1st.
