The lifesaving EMT was killed on March 13 by three police officers who raided her home and unleashed a hail of bullets into her bedroom after entering the residence without knocking.
WAVE3 reported that the Metro Council Public Safety Committee approved the proposal, which would put a ban on no-knock warrants used for drug possession cases.
If the rule is passed by the full Metro Council on June 11, officers will be required to thoroughly justify any no-knock warrant before it is reviewed by the SWAT commander and police chief.
In cases where the police chief is not able to approve such a warrant, they can give anyone with at least the rank of major the power to approve the warrant.
