White Paper
In communities across the country, citizens are becoming increasingly aware of and involved in law enforcement policy.
Done effectively, community review of law enforcement policy represents an excellent opportunity to bring community members and law enforcement leaders closer together and build shared understanding of police practices.

This guide provides strategies and information for agencies and community members to make the process of community review and development of law enforcement policy more efficient, more positive and ultimately more meaningful for all involved.
