鈥淟oyalty isn't saying: 鈥榃ell, you've done something wrong, I'm going to protect you.鈥� Loyalty is me saying: 鈥榊ou're about to do something wrong, and I'm going to stop you.鈥欌��
New Orleans Police Department says this is the basis of a radical training programme devised to reduce incidents of police brutality.

Since then, the idea has spread, and the system is now being taught right across the United States and beyond.
Daniel Gordon catches up with the project to hear what progress is being made.
