The Workshop

Transformative Policy and Procedures - Innovating and Implementing effective Policing Policies : Friday, October 06, 2023 09:00A

Policing practices should ensure equal justice and be supported by evidence. These practices should be rooted in human rights principles and recognize the importance of maintaining a positive relationship between communities and police. Many police departments rely on practices that have questionable effectiveness at decreasing crime and proven effectiveness at alienating communities. With the rise of the Movement for Black Lives and Black Lives Matter, and the spate of police-involved shootings, the need for police reforms that foster positive community and police relations is critical. This workshop will explore how to implement policies and change the culture in policing.
