The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and The Leadership Conference Education Fund have created a report to serve as a starting point for communities and police departments to work together to achieve policing reform in the 21st century.
Via CivilRightsPolicing.org, "This report was developed to give individuals, communities, activists, advocacy organizations, law makers, and police departments the knowledge to co-produce public safety. Its accompanying toolkit is intended to empower communities to hold police departments accountable by working together to address problems and to find the best way forward to coproduce public safety. The best practices recommended here are adaptable to every department, in every community across the nation; the ultimate goal is fair, safe, and effective policing that respects and protects human life and ensures safety for all. We hope these resources spread these best practices farther, and faster, so that all people, of all backgrounds and all characteristics, are truly safe in America."
"We must rethink what public safety means and engage in collaborative reform to ensure that every person is safe, and every person feels safe in their community."
"By coproducing public safety, communities and police departments can develop policies and practices that reflect community values and interests."
