Mission Statement
Making policing less racist, deadly, and omnipresent may mean: equipping community leaders with data tools to demand better policing; uplifting the work of longtime community organizers; or identifying those public safety tasks for which police are not trained and helping communities reimagine how to meet those challenges.
About This Cause
The Center for Policing Equity's (CPE's) North Star is protecting, empowering, and supporting vulnerable communities—particularly Black and Brown communities—to redesign their public safety systems. CPE provides leaders with data, stories, and relationships to facilitate change that's bold, innovative, and lasting. We do science to promote justice. Our work is founded on the understanding that racism is not simply an expression of individually defective hearts and minds, but is best understood as behaviors that can be observed, measured, and monitored. CPE gathers and analyzes data on such behaviors within public safety systems and uses those data to help communities achieve safer policing outcomes for their public servants, their institutions, and themselves. Making policing less racist, deadly, and omnipresent may mean: equipping community leaders with data tools to demand better policing; uplifting the work of longtime community organizers; or identifying those public safety tasks for which police are not trained and helping communities reimagine how to meet those challenges. This work is also the basis of CPE's National Justice Database, the largest collection of police behavioral data in the world. Yale-affiliated and funded by the National Science Foundation, this database allows CPE to provide others with a clearer picture of the approaches, measures, and methods that work best in redesigning public safety to better keep vulnerable communities safe. Founded in 2008, CPE is a 501c3 non-profit.
