Police Chiefs, Prosecutors, Sheriffs, Attorneys General
We represent over 200 members — police chiefs, prosecutors, sheriffs, attorneys general, and correctional officials — from all 50 states, dedicated to urging the country to reduce incarceration while reducing crime. MISSION STATEMENT As current and former leaders of the law enforcement community — police chiefs, sheriffs, district and state’s attorneys, U.S. Attorneys, attorneys general, correctional officials, and other leaders — protecting public safety is our foremost priority. From experience and through data-driven and innovative practices, we know the country can reduce crime while also reducing unnecessary arrests, prosecutions, and incarceration. We can also reduce recidivism and strengthen relationships with communities. With the goal of building a smarter, stronger, and fairer criminal justice system, we join together to urge a change in laws and practices to reduce incarceration while continuing to keep our country safe.
