This shouldn't be necessary, yet it is!
Tennessee police chief tells officers they now must intervene when others are abusing their authority
"Each department member has the individual responsibility to intervene and stop any other member from committing an unlawful or improper act, including but not limited to, acts of brutality, abuses of process, abuses of authority, and any other criminal acts or major violations of department rules and procedures," the policy states.
"Successful intervention does not negate a duty to report."
Failure to intervene will result in disciplinary action, Roddy said.
