This is a disappointment: The Dallas Police Department waited so long to begin a study on its eyewitness ID procedures that the Urban Institute, which was supposed to conduct the study, had its grant expire and cannot now fund the long-awaited research.
The truth is, Dallas doesn't need a study to improve it's eyewitness ID policies; other agencies have reformed their methods without some expensive study. They should do so, ASAP.
