Write a policy-forward piece grounded in the Beaufort County shooting coverage, using the data-accuracy and interagency-coordination gaps highlighted in the reporting as a lens. Start with a concise scene or finding from the articles (e.g., missing fingerprints or delayed data transmission) to frame the urgency. Then propose concrete, scalable reforms in emergency response, data integrity, mental health integration, and transparency, outlining clear metrics and a pilot pathway. Anticipate counterarguments about safety and costs, and offer balanced, evidence-based responses. Close with a brief call to action for policymakers, law enforcement, and the public to adopt a transparent reform roadmap.
