EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The September 11th attacks on the United States redirected priorities with a suddenness perhaps unprecedented in the American police experience. Homeland security, the constant threat of terrorism on our shores, concern with weapons of mass destruction, and security-related intelligence demands surged to the forefront of state and local policing. Requirements and implications of the Patriot Act, homeland security funding, and equipment and training distribution issues have penetrated the law enforcement enterprise at all levels. With no time for preparation, law enforcement repositioning to confront these demands and issues has been paralleled by 9-11 fallouts, including military (reserve) mobilizations that skim police manpower, material expenditures for overtime and color alert mobilization, and heightened concern for preservation of civil liberties. September 11th impacts and demands intensified the urgency of pre-9-11 police priorities, harnessing new technologies, most notably information technology, and within this realm, interoperability capacities being most obvious. Palpable concern exists that new and still evolving homeland security requirements not be met at the expense of considerable gains in community policing and the restoration of public trust, meticulously crafted in recent years. Similarly, crime prevention and control – the core missions of law enforcement – though currently somewhat muted, remain the dominant concern in the world of law enforcement. Suffusing this panoply of change is state and local budgetary stress. Many police agencies must address expanding missions in flat or diminishing resource environments. Productivity and asset-leveraging challenges are already evident and are likely to dominate functioning for the foreseeable future. THE POST 9-11 POLICING PROJECT The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA), the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), the Major Cities Chiefs Association, and the Police Foundation joined in 2004 to conduct a project to help position state, local, and tribal agencies to proactively manage a changed and continually changing police environment. Four objectives were pursued: Objective 1: Profile High Impact Changes. Identify and prioritize the forces and demands, currently evident and emerging, that are redirecting the police mission and roles. i Objective 2: Capture Best Practices. Assemble information on successful policy, program, and resource deployment responses that agencies have undertaken to address changing conditions, missions, and roles. Objective 3: Craft Promising Practices. Surface or develop policy, program, and resource deployment ideas considered promising for addressing changing conditions, mission, and roles. Objective 4: Package and Disseminate Practices. Blanket the police community with user-friendly Action Briefs that summarize the best and promising practices information and ideas. The partners regard this project as an essential effort to address the continuing need for up-to-date change management strategies for American law enforcement.

  • State of Surveillance in California – Findings & Recommendations January 2015
    State of Surveillance in California – Findings & Recommendations January 2015 Executive Summary In the wake of revelations about the National Security Agency’s rampant warrantless spying and local law enforcement’s use of military equipment in cities like Ferguson, Missouri, community members have been regularly contacting the ACLU with concerns about the proliferation of surveillance. Cities and counties have also increasingly reached out for guidance about how to approach the use of surveillance in ways consistent with civil liberties and civil rights. Yet very little information exists about surveillance technology in California or how to properly consider its acquisition or use. To address this, the ACLU of California conducted a first-of-its-kind assessment of surveillance technology in the state. We also released a new resource guide, Making Smart Decisions About Surveillance: A Guide for Communities, and developed a model ordinance designed to help policymakers ensure adequate transparency, oversight, and accountability.1 The following document summarizes our findings about the state of surveillance in California and recommends several ways that the Attorney General and other state policymakers could take action to help address the widespread lack of transparency, oversight, and accountability for surveillance technology in California. Methodology and Summary of Surveillance Survey Findings From June to November 2014, the ACLU of California2 examined thousands of publicly available3 records for California’s 58 counties and 60 selected cities.4 We researched the types of surveillance technology in communities, including automated license plate readers (ALPRs), 5 body cameras,6 drones,7 facial recognition,8 “Stingrays,” 9 and video surveillance.10 We investigated how much money has been spent to acquire and maintain surveillance technology and the source of those funds.

    April 8, 2021 The Honorable Toni Atkins The Honorable Anthony Rendon Senate Pro Tempore Assembly Speaker State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Nancy Skinner The Honorable Phil Ting Chair, Senate Budget Committee Chair, Assembly Budget Committee State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear President Pro Tempore Atkins, Speaker Rendon and Budget Chairs Skinner and Ting, We appreciate your willingness to meet with us, and to continue your partnership with the mayors of our largest cities in finding pragmatic solutions to address our state’s homelessness crisis. Given the scale of the challenge we collectively face, and because of the extraordinary opportunity created by two unique circumstances--the passage of the American Rescue Plan and the state’s budget surplus--we write to revisit our prior budget request. As you know, we have long believed that the state must identify an ongoing, consistent allocation of flexible funding sufficient to meet the enormity of the challenge in our cities for affordable housing construction and supportive services. While our economic challenges make it difficult to identify an ongoing revenue source, the large amount of one-time funding presents a generational opportunity to make a dramatic move to address our homelessness crisis. That can be accomplished by setting aside a one-time allocation of $16 billion for a steady expenditure of $4 billion per year over the next four years. Through our partnership, we’ve accomplished much in our cities in recent years through such initiatives as Project Homekey, HHAP, and HEAP. We created permanent or transitional housing for our homeless at an average cost to the state of $148,000 per unit under Project Homekey, for instance, and we built prefabricated dorms, modular housing, tiny homes, and shelters even more cost-effectively with state and local dollars.

Schumer Republican Leader Democratic Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Leader McCarthy, Leader McConnell and Leader Schumer: RE: Urgent Action Needed on President-Elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan On behalf of The United States Conference of Mayors, we urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including providing direct fiscal assistance to all cities, which is long overdue. President-elect Biden’s American Rescue Plan contains such assistance as part of an aggressive strategy to contain the virus, increase access to life-saving vaccines, and create a foundation for sustainable and inclusive recovery. American cities and our essential workers have been serving at the frontlines of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic for nearly a year. We have been charged with executing herculean public health efforts and an unprecedented emergency response. Despite immense fiscal pressure, your local government partners oversaw those efforts, while trying to maintain essential services and increase our internal capacity to provide support for residents and businesses who have been crippled by a tanking economy. And yet, as the economic engines of our country, local governments will be relied upon to lead the long- term economic recovery our nation so desperately needs, even as, with few exceptions, cities have been largely left without direct federal assistance.
