SC Cops Accused of Wrong Might Face Lie Detectors

The Post and Courier of Charleston reported Monday the director of the state Criminal Justice Academy said the tests are among changes being considered to create a fairer and more thorough review for officers accused of wrongdoing.

Director Hubert Harrell says he's also considering an outside, impartial panel to hear appeals of decisions banning officers from law enforcement.

Harrell says South Carolina should consider joining more than two dozen states participating in a national database that tracks more than 11,000 officers who have been stripped of their badges.

Harrell says those ideas could improve the state's ability to monitor the 16,000 law enforcement officers in South Carolina.
