Cortez Masto told The Nevada Independent that the guardrails she has in mind are “nothing unreasonable.”“Our federal law enforcement should follow the same protocols and standards for training, for de-escalation, for wearing body cameras, like our state and local law enforcement,” she said, pointing out body cameras have been mandated since 2018 for Nevada law enforcement officers who interact with the public. “The package will not come back through the House without funding for the Department of Homeland Security,” according to the letter.
