Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sandra Bland Act requires that all deaths in county jails be investigated by an independent law enforcement agency. This is to ensure transparency and accountability in the event of a jail death. While the act also has provisions for de-escalation training for law enforcement and increasing resources for mental health services, it does not require written consent for vehicle searches, prohibit jailing for certain offenses, or mandate investigations of all officer-involved shootings.
