Public Safety Blueprint for Change Public Safety Blueprint for Change 1 Public Safety Blueprint for Change Note: The AFL-CIO has 13 affiliate unions who represent law enforcement professionals. The AFL-CIO Task Force on Racial Justice convened a subcommittee on policing to provide a venue for union members in law enforcement, and their representatives, to develop recommendations on issues of public safety reform. The group expanded to include representatives from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), both of which represent law enforcement officers. This Public Safety Blueprint for Change is written by and from the perspective of unionized law enforcement officers and leaders, and endorsed by the participating unions and the AFL-CIO Task Force on Racial Justice. The labor movement, as an integral part of our correctly every day from calling out their peers whose communities and the representative of many law actions are a detriment to maintaining peace and enforcement officers, has a unique role to play in safety, the profession and the community relationships changing public safety.

  • Blue Lives Matter
    COP FRAGILITY AND BLUE LIVES MATTER Frank Rudy Cooper* There is a new police criticism. Numerous high-profile police killings of unarmed blacks between 2012–2016 sparked the movements that came to be known as Black Lives Matter, #SayHerName, and so on. That criticism merges race-based activism with intersectional concerns about violence against women, including trans women. There is also a new police resistance to criticism. It fits within the tradition of the “Blue Wall of Silence,” but also includes a new pro-police movement known as Blue Lives Matter. The Blue Lives Matter movement makes the dubious claim that there is a war on police and counter attacks by calling for making assaults on police hate crimes akin to those address- ing attacks on historically oppressed groups. Legal scholarship has not comprehensively considered the impact of the new police criticism on the police. It is especially remiss in attending to the implications of Blue Lives Matter as police resistance to criticism. This Article is the first to do so. This Article illuminates a heretofore unrecognized source of police resistance to criticism by utilizing diversity trainer and New York Times best-selling author Robin DiAngelo’s recent theory of white fragility. “White fragility” captures many whites’ reluctance to discuss ongoing rac- ism, or even that whiteness creates a distinct set of experiences and per- spectives. White fragility is based on two myths: the ideas that one could be an unraced and purely neutral individual—false objectivity—and that only evil people perpetuate racial subordination—bad intent theory. Cop fragility is an analogous oversensitivity to criticism that blocks necessary conversations about race and policing.

Citizens expect those with badges and guns to follow the law as well as enforce it, but these two roles often come into conflict. Reporter Craig Horowitz recounted that one police officer justified his hitting a suspect in the stomach when the suspect tried to run away as being necessary to reestablish author- ity.1 Another police officer is quoted as saying, "[i]f someone disses you, you take him in an alley and slap him.

The memo also highlights the obstacles that police unions and their contracts create for accountability, reform efforts, and campaigns that challenge police union power in order to overcome those obstacles. Finally, this memo provides specific recommendations for research, organizing, and policy developments when challenging police union power. The goal of this memo is to illuminate the power of police unions and the protections afforded by their contracts; in 14 states these protections are supported—in addition to or in the absence of union contracts—by legislation called the Law Enforcement Officers Bills of Rights (LEOBR) or the Police Officers Bills of Rights (POBR). Often there is confusion, upset, frustration, and anger about the inability of community members and elected officials to hold police officers accountable for misconduct and the inability to create lasting reform within police departments— 1 difficulties often due to the police unions’ power derived from their contracts and/or from the LEOBR/POBR. This memo gathers examples of how police union power plays out across the United States and highlights model practices for effectively challenging police union power.

  • Report on Police Reform by South Nyack/Grand View-On-Hudson Executive Order 203 Panel on Police Reform
    REPORT ON POLICE REFORM BY SOUTH NYACK/GRAND VIEW-ON-HUDSON EXECUTIVE ORDER 203 PANEL ON POLICE REFORM Created by the six-member, BIPOC-majority steering committee and submitted to local officials and law enforcement for their review and response and, subsequently, to the general public. Introduction People of color, rst and foremost Black people,are the targets--too often, literally--of police harassment,abuse, brutality, and murder. “While there are no denitive gures on how many Americans are shot by police every year, existing data point to grave dierences by race,” notes a 2015 report by PolicyLink (“a national research and action institute advancing economic and social equity”). “In 2014 alone, police were responsible for the deaths of 302 Black people across the country. From 2010– 2012, Black men were 21 times more likely than their white peers to be killed by police. Similar racial disparities hold true among those injured by police.” (https://www.policylink.org/sites/default/les/PL_BCC_DEMIL_ POLICE_DEPT_04292015_rev_0.pdf) This is a secret hidden in plain sight. No BIPOC (Black/Indigenous/People of Color) American needs “denitive gures” to alert him, her, or them to the horric cost of racial bias in policing and in police culture.1 The murders, by police--euphemized by law enforcement and a complicit news media as “ocer-involved shootings,” sanitizing language we reject as part of the problem--of Anthony Baez, Amadou Diallo, Ousmane Zango, Sean Bell, Ramarley Graham, Patrick Dorismond, Akai Gurley, Eric Garner, Oscar Grant, Trayvon

    CLE SEMINAR Conducting Effective Voir Dire on Issues of Race Hosted at: Federal Public Defender's Office Speaker: Kyana Givens, AFPD from the Western District of Washington Portland, Oregon Live on April 25, 2018 12:00pm to 1:00pm Eugene, Oregon Via video conference on April 25, 2018 12:00pm to 1:00pm Medford, Oregon Via video conference on April 25, 2018 12:00pm to 1:00pm Bias in Blue: Instructing Jurors to Consider the Testimony of Police Officer Witnesses with Caution Vida B. Johnson* Abstract Jurors in criminal trials are instructed by the judge that they are to treat the testimony of a police officer just like the testimony of any other witness. Fact-finders are told that they should not give police officer testimony greater or lesser weight than any other witness they will hear from at trial. Jurors are to accept that police are no more believable or less believable than anyone else. Jury instructions regarding police officer testimony stand in contrast to the instructions given to jurors when a witness with a legally recognized interest in the outcome of the case has testified. In cases where witnesses have received financial assistance or plea deals for their testimony, a special instruction is given. For example, when a witness with a cooperation agreement testifies, the trial court will tell the jury that while the witness has the same obligation to tell the truth as other witnesses, the jury can consider whether the witness has an interest different from other types of witnesses and that her testimony should be considered with caution.

  • Report from Public Safety Committee
    File No. 20-0763 PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE REPORT relative to peer intervention programs and related peer intervention training within the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Recommendations for Council action, pursuant to Motion (Rodriguez - O'Farrell): DIRECT the LAPD to: a. Report within 30 days in regard to Identifying peer intervention training programs to include a plan for fully adopting peer intervention training and incorporating peer intervention principles throughout the LAPD. b. Report within 30 days in regard to the LAPD's current peer intervention policy and fully integrate peer intervention training and policies into the department’s early warning system, otherwise known as TEAMS II, as well as other risk management functions of the LAPD, to better identify, track, and report an officer’s misconduct to include plans for implementation. Fiscal Impact Statement: Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report. Community Impact Statement: None submitted. Summary: On August 11, 2020, the Public Safety Committee considered a Motion (Rodriguez - O'Farrell) relative to peer intervention programs and related peer intervention training within the LAPD. According to the Motion, on May 25, 2020 George Floyd died in the custody of Minneapolis Police officers because one officer pinned his knee to Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. George Floyd did not die in an instant. Three other officers who were there all watched, but none of them stopped what was happening. Many experts, civil rights advocates, and law enforcement leaders argue that peer intervention training might have prevented Floyd's death.

  • Annika Liu-Blue Wall of Silence
    BLUE WALL OF SILENCE Blue Wall of Silence: Degradation of Accountability Annika Liu Department of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University-Camden 50:525:155:01 HON SEM ETHICS VALS: Critical Issues of Criminal Justice Professor Allen November 27, 2020 BLUE WALL OF SILENCE 2 Abstract The code of silence is the unofficial, implicit prohibition against reporting misconduct between police officers, which has led to the deterioration of police accountability and trust in the criminal justice system. There has been growing discontent in the United States with police brutality and misconduct in recent years, notably with the conflict between the Black Lives Matter and Blue Lives Matter movements. Since George Floyd’s death at the hands of police officers in May of 2020, along with the 2020 presidential elections in November, there has been greater attention towards police integrity, corruption, and racial disparities within police departments. In order to expose these covered-up injustices, the code of silence must be dismantled. The social pressures within police departments hinder officers from reporting their coworkers and superiors, which permits further transgressions. As these covert operations continue, citizens will lose trust in the criminal justice system because officers are not held accountable. Thus, the solution must bolster police integrity from a legislative, disciplinary, and social perspective. Keywords: misconduct, police integrity, police accountability, corruption, trustworthiness BLUE WALL OF SILENCE 3 The blue wall of silence, code of silence, or blue curtain, is the unofficial, unwritten prohibition against reporting misconduct among police officers, which has led to the deterioration of police accountability. On a global scale, most individuals in policing are devoted to honorable and efficient public service and have exhibited unwaveringly high standards of integrity in their duties (Gottschalk & Holgersson, 2011).

  • Police Institutions and Police Abuse: Evidence from the US
    Police Institutions and Police Abuse: Evidence from the US A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Politics: Comparative Government Department of Politics and International Relations University of Oxford Trinity 2018 Word Count: 29,912 Candidate Number: 1011861 Police Institutions and Police Abuse: Evidence from the US Abstract What can explain variation in police abuse across America’s largest enforcement agencies? This question is salient given the media attention and the investigations conducted by the US Department of Justice finding problems of accountability and transparency in America’s policing apparatus. Situating itself on the intersection between the public-sector union, special interest group, and criminology literature, this thesis argues that police union mechanisms, specifically police protections, can explain variation in police abuse. The study employs an originally constructed index of police protections comprised of police union contract and Law Enforcement Officer Bill of Rights (LEOBR) provisions. First, there is a positive and significant relationship between police abuse and police protections. Second, while local-level ideology has no influence on the ability of unions to create police protections, state-level ideology vis-à-vis state labour laws hinder the ability of unions to create police protections. Finally, to address alternative explanations for continued abuse, I present a paired, qualitative case study of Chicago, IL, and Dallas, TX. I demonstrate the importance of labour histories and minority law enforcement unions for creating better policing outcomes. 2 Police Institutions and Police Abuse: Evidence from the US Acknowledgements “Power is easily misused by those in power.
