Conclusion


Content: To
 
achieve
 
this
 
end,
 
law
 
enforcement
 
agencies
 
should
 
have
 
clear
 
and
 
comprehensive
 
policies
 
on
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
force
 
(including
 
training
 
on
 
the
 
im-
portance
 
of
 
de-escalation),
 
mass
 
demonstrations
 
(including
 
the
 
appropriate
 
use
 
of
 
equipment,
 
particularly
 
rifles
 
and
 
armored
 
personnel
 
carriers),
 
consent
 
before
 
searches,
 
gender
 
identification,
 
racial
 
profiling,
 
and
 
performance
 
measures—
among
 
others
 
such
 
as
 
external
 
and
 
independent
 
investigations
 
and
 
prosecutions
 
of
 
ocer-involved
 
shootings
 
and
 
other
 
use
 
of
 
force
 
situations
 
and
 
in-custody
 
deaths. These
 
policies
 
should
 
also
 
in-
clude
 
provisions
 
for
 
the
 
collection
 
of
 
demographic
 
data
 
on
 
all
 
parties
 
involved. All
 
policies
 
and
 
aggregate
 
data
 
should
 
be
 
made
 
publicly
 
available
 
to
 
ensure
 
transparency. To
 
ensure
 
policies
 
are
 
maintained
 
and
 
current,
 
law
 
enforcement
 
agencies
 
are
 
encouraged
 
to
 
periodically
 
review
 
policies
 
and
 
procedures,
 
conduct
 
nonpunitive
 
peer
 
reviews
 
of
 
critical
 
incidents
 
separate
 
from
 
criminal
 
and
 
administra-
tive
 
investigations,
 
and
 
establish
 
civilian
 
oversight
 
mechanisms
 
with
 
their
 
communities. Finally,
 
to
 
assist
 
law
 
enforcement
 
and
 
the
 
com-
munity
 
achieve
 
the
 
elements
 
of
 
pillar
 
two,
 
the
 
U.S.
 
Department
 
of
 
Justice,
 
through
 
the
 
Oce
 
of
 
Community
 
Oriented
 
Policing
 
Services
 
(COPS
 
Oce)
 
and
 
Oce
 
of
 
Justice
 
Programs
 
(OJP),
 
should
 
provide
 
technical
 
assistance
 
and
 
incentive
 
funding
 
to
 
jurisdictions
 
with
 
small
 
police
 
agencies
 
that
 
take
 
steps
 
toward
 
interagency
 
collaboration,
 
shared
 
services,
 
and
 
regional
 
training. They
 
should
 
also
 
partner
 
with
 
the
 
International
 
Association
 
of
 
Direc-
tors
 
of
 
Law
 
Enforcement
 
Standards
 
and
 
Training
 
(IADLEST)
 
to
 
expand
 
its
 
National
 
Decertification
 
Index
 
to
 
serve
 
as
 
the
 
National
 
Register
 
of
 
Decerti-
fied
 
Ocers
 
with
 
the
 
goal
 
of
 
covering
 
all
 
agencies
 
within
 
the
 
United
 
States
 
and
 
its
 
territories. Pillar
 
Three: Technology
 
&
  
Social
 
Media
The
 
use
 
of
 
technology
 
can
 
improve
 
policing
 
practic-
es
 
and
 
build
 
community
 
trust
 
and
 
legitimacy,
 
but
 
its
 
implementation
 
must
 
be
 
built
 
on
 
a
 
defined
 
policy
 
framework
 
with
 
its
 
purposes
 
and
 
goals
 
clearly
 
de-
lineated. Implementing
 
new
 
technologies
 
can
 
give
 
police
 
departments
 
an
 
opportunity
 
to
 
fully
 
engage
 
and
 
educate
 
communities
 
in
 
a
 
dialogue
 
about
 
their
 
expectations
 
for
 
transparency,
 
accountability,
 
and
 
privacy. But
 
technology
 
changes
 
quickly
 
in
 
terms
 
of
 
new
 
hardware,
 
software,
 
and
 
other
 
options.
