Police Accountability
The Consortium for Police Leadership in Equity (CPLE) is a research consortium that promotes police transparency and accountability by facilitating innovative research collaborations between law enforcement agencies and world-class social scientists. Through these facilitated collaborations, the Consortium seeks to improve issues of equity–particularly racial and gender equity–in policing both within law enforcement agencies and between agencies and the communities they serve. The Consortium aims to effect cultural transformations within both law enforcement and the academy by creating opportunities that simultaneously preserve the dignity of law enforcement and advance the application of social science to the real world.
New York Police-on-Police Shootings Task Force Releases Report:
The report examines the implications arising from police-on-police shootings and confrontations, particularly between on-duty and off-duty officers and between officers of different races, nationalities and ethnicities, and recommends ways to prevent such incidents in the future. The report recommends that departments, state government, and the US Department of Justice each take specific steps to:
- improve police training and tactics to defuse police-on-police confrontations before they turn fatal;
- improve the investigation of police-on-police shootings; and
- provide procedures that can improve the treatment of the officers and families involved.
