Colin Kaepernick is launching a new initiative that will offer free, secondary autopsies to families of anyone involved in a “police-related” death.

Through his Know Your Rights Camp, the measure collaborates with a panel of board-certified forensic pathologists who perform autopsies, disclose preliminary findings and issue final reports to families requesting them.

"We know that the prison industrial complex, which includes police and policing, strives to protect and serve its interests at all costs," Kaepernick said, according to CBS News. "The Autopsy Initiative is one important step toward ensuring that family members have access to accurate and forensically verifiable information about the cause of death of their loved one in their time of need."

The initiative’s goal is to ease concerns about the objectivity and reliability of the first autopsy conducted, the risk of manipulation of evidence and potential bias on behalf of the coroner or medical examiner and/or the use of flawed forensic procedures.

"I am passionate about the Initiative's impact and look forward to being a resource to victims' family members who have lost their loved ones due to a police-related death," Nicole Martin, program manager for the Autopsy Initiative, said according to CBS.

World renowned pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht, who is a coordinator of the initiative, said: "I am extremely enthusiastic about this truly unique program. The opportunity to have unbiased second autopsies performed by independent, experienced forensic pathologists in police-related deaths will provide victims' families with knowledge that the true facts of any such case have been thoroughly analyzed and prepared for appropriate utilization whenever deemed necessary."
