Our webinar's esteemed presenters - including Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, whose office successfully prosecuted Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd - will provide comprehensive strategies and tools for how attorneys general and local prosecutors can effectively approach, work through, and try cases against police officers. 

Prosecuting cases of police violence and misconduct is tremendously challenging as these cases pose unique considerations for prosecutors. Few police officers who have been prosecuted for homicide have been convicted at trial, and too often prosecutors at both the state and local level are reluctant to bring charges and try officers who have inflicted criminal harms. This webinar will build off of our recent publication series as part of its State Attorneys General Police Oversight and Accountability Network on how attorneys general can effectively prosecute police officers for misconduct as well as the Prosecutors Alliance's 2023 conference on prosecuting police violence.
