Mission Statement
The National Police Accountability Project (NPAP) is one of the few national organizations that focuses solely on ending law enforcement overreach and abuse of power. We approach the problem of policing from all sides, using litigation, legislative advocacy and community-based solutions to achieve policy and system reform knowing we need all these tools to achieve transformative change. NPAP’s network of 500+ civil rights attorney members brings thousands of lawsuits against police departments, jails and prisons across the country. This vast and deep knowledge of and investigation into policing culture has made the organization an expert in policing and effective police reform.
About This Cause
Despite the 2020 national uprisings calling for police accountability, more people were killed by police in 2023 than in any other year in the past decade. Police officers kill an average of 3 people a day in the U.S. – disproportionately people of color. In addition to killing, police brutalize, injure and harass hundreds of people every minute in America. And often absolutely nothing is done to stop them. NPAP works to transform the future of policing while at the same time protecting and supporting those who are devastated by police violence today. NPAP works to complement and uplift community-led efforts in places hostile to reform by demanding accountability for law enforcement abuses through litigation. Lawsuits can be a tool both to help heal and empower individuals after they have been violated by the police – and a means to mandate change to policing practices and policies.
