Training police to patrol each other
Police in the US are being taught how to step in when a colleague does something that doesn’t look right.
A growing number of police departments in the US are introducing a new concept in their training - teaching officers on the beat how to step in when they see a colleague doing something they don't think is right.
After the killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests, a programme pioneered by police in New Orleans is being developed for other forces.
