Wie können Sie die Rechenschaftspflicht der Polizei in Ihrer Öffentlichkeitsarbeit und Organisationsarbeit fördern?

Nothing is more important than having universal policies and procedures for the basic rule of law, and a federal mandate for checks and balances to assure transparency and accountability.

Instead of complaining and blaming police for the actions that brought police to the situation, address the root cause. Instead of complaining, sit with police leaders to find solutions to the issue being complained about. Police Officers are members of your communities, they are human and like everyone prone to make mistakes. Remember the public is the police. Complaints are warranted and discipline will take place if needed. If you think, you have the answers to policing and what they should have done. Join the department in your community. If not volunteer to be an auxiliary or volunteer officer. Walk a mile before you judge the mile already walked.

I think this is very important to note because not only with the US but UK, France and other European nations, the way the police is governed is very different. For many folks from under represented communities, they may be apprehensive about what their rights are and how to follow up. This first step is crucial in information gathering.

It is important to know your rights but even more important to understand your responsibilities within those rights. Organizers are on the ground talking to people day in and out. The purpose of the police is to uphold the law and are held accountable in an instant when a person knows their rights and can exercise them without fear of immediate reprisal however any interaction with police in low income black and brown neighborhoods can lead to serious altercations with dangerous outcomes so it is important to keep calm and respectful and to end the interaction as quickly as possible. Your safety is part of your responsibility to ensure you go home to your loved ones. Record if you can and pay attention to body language. Always be safe!

Quarterly contact your local, state, and federal elected officials (easy to do on the internet) letting them know of your concerns and the need for increased de-escalation training and accountability practices, etc. Don't be ashamed, embarrassed, or tired of continuous communication on the same issues of importance. Rather, be the record that keeps on playing the same song until something is done to move the needle.

As a criminal justice major, I’ve seen arrests/convictions in the black community go from 1 out of 10 persons to 1 out of 3. Jails are planned for black children pre-puberty, in the 6th grade. Complete systemic racism, from bottom to top. Entire system needs to be gutted, revamped, community policing will be left up to community members in interim. The juror pool of each community will decide the fate of its members, by panels. We will have scholars look at +eliminate anything unethical, unjust, unjust in the system+publicly recommendation revocation. It’s a quick orderly fashion, I’ve been putting it together in my head almost 5 decades. It’s been my passion since I was 16, sitting in my 1st CRJ college class. Fox for President 2024

I think opening space for the community to have face to face interactions with law enforcement officers would be a good start. Opening the door for communication might help to create a link between the general public.

To examine culture, key values risks, processes and vulnerable positions. Based on the issues of values and vulnerable processes identified, to organize transversally thematic sessions in line with the philosophy of the ethical decision-making process. For each value-related issue, several situations can be examined, practices and blockages are analyzed and concrete actions and controls are proposed in order to adopt an adequate approach to integrity risks.  To think about transversal solutions for each question linked to values,  To evaluate the quality and opportunities for improvement of integrity instruments and processes,  To contribute to concrete integrity projects.

Promoting police accountability is a multifaceted effort that requires sustained commitment and collaboration from the community, activists, and policymakers. Engaging with a diverse range of stakeholders and employing a variety of strategies can contribute to a more comprehensive and effective approach.

In our effort in community policing, we always focus on ensuring our stakeholders are engaged and have their voices listened to. There is no fixed solution for a community issue, one is required is a commitment to build a relationship that nurtures.

The common thread that weaves any community or profession together is people. This thread is only capable of staying strong through communication, respect and trust. All of which must be demonstrated by our collective actions and over time. Even when things become stressed or challenged. We must find ways to communicate respectfully and trust each other as we move forward. Creating opportunities for people and police to engage in the above is the hard part. It always takes longer than you think. Combining grass roots with technology might provide opportunities. How can we use today’s modern technology to connect us? I wonder what’s working and who has examples to share. Anyone?

Development of relationships with youth and youth serving organizations (i.e. Boy Scouts or Boys & Girls Club) to have the youth develop personal friendship with the police as people is critical to help youth trust their local police force.

Working with groups who have been most impacted by police misconduct or mass incarceration policies is critical. Nothing about us without us approach should be a driving organizing principle.

I believe community engagement with the police involving an educational series, continuous compassion training for the police that include community involvement, and more visibility of police involved in community events, activities, and gatherings where they are part of the community not policing the community. We can’t hate people up close - we can’t create stories in our head based on media frenzy when we are co-existing with our “neighbor” - we need to see our police officers in uniform as part of the community.

If you take time to know the officers in your community you will find yourself being less on the receiving end of unjust judgements.

As a safety creator, I'm a combination advocate and private protection management professional who served as an intermediary at assignments between victims, witnesses and officers- with all dynamics these encounters entail. I try to build rapport with receptive officers.and supervisors so calls from where I work are more likely seen as having met certain criteria and aren't as often (lol) considered a waste of time or other negatives in this era of depolicing and existing devaluing of concerns from stakeholders belonging to marginalized communities. Part of the mobilizing and organizing feature of my safety creation involves engaging law enforcement where I work to function beyond misgivings regarding my being a Black male stakeholder.

It's important to provide platforms that enable law enforcement to assume their role of public servants responsible for educating the public about the appropriate role of law enforcement in the communities that they serve. The public is then able to share their concerns and suggestions for improving public safety and police-community relations in the shared communities that they live, work, and play in.

The best thing that I ever did, was make a conscious effort to connect with, and speak to people wearing badges. I was surprisingly shocked at how diverse I found them to be on topics such as politics, police accountability, the history of policing in the United States, and the extreme differences in their upbringing. It surprised me to find that I have more in common with many of the Deputy’s, Sargent’s, and Captains I have met, then some of the folks standing next to me at the protests. Relationship building is critical. Building cross-aisle relationships is paramount to having a well rounded lens on a lot of politically pressurized hot button issues, and avoiding parroting, and the pressures of groupthink.

Data will be used to manipulate the public safety narrative so it must be used to inform the real situation by combining with qualitative data especially including stories of impacted residents.

To promote police accountability through research in outreach and organizing, start by gathering data on police practices and misconduct. Collaborate with academic institutions for credible analysis. Use this data to inform and engage the community, enhancing awareness and driving advocacy for policy reform. Present evidence-based recommendations to policymakers and law enforcement. Finally, establish ongoing monitoring to ensure effective and lasting change in policing practices, maintaining long-term accountability.

I think it's also important to have the data handy when you have organizing conversations in the community to back up your concerns. Not everyone is going to agree and having the data and it's source to back up your assertions is the best way to respond to people who disagree.

In my experience, there is no issue or need that can't be better understood or addressed through the lens of policy. What is it? How is it made? Who is responsible for making policy? Are existing policies effective? Why or why not? Raising awareness is just the beginning. Advocating for the revision, elimination, and/or creation of new policies is key for positive and sustainable change.

Understand your decision making targets. If it’s a close vote on a controversial policy chances are being loud and showing strong community support still won’t carry the day, it will be equally important to leverage individual influencers to secure the swing vote(s).

One thing, many system-impacted folks fail to consider as a tool for police accountability (specifically when facing death at the hands of police) is the disparities between who police systems target, AND (curve ball) who is more likely to have protections such as life insurance. We have all seen how inconsistent the system is with their standard for what warrants charges being brought against an officer who shoots to kill. You know who wants the truth more than anyone? Second only to the loved ones of the deceased? A life insurance company who doesn’t want to pay out. They have the right and the financial means to conduct their own, very thorough, investigation for however long it takes. And you can believe they will.

I think it's also tremendously important to be very clear about what specific policy changes you want. Just being angry or upset doesn't get you very far. Have clear, concise, concrete changes you want to achieve.

The most successful efforts for accountability include community-led boards of diverse voices that monitor the progress of changes. The measures of success need to be developed by community leaders and department members - and the progress toward success needs to be publicly monitored.

This question is mostly fraudulent in its implications (through no fault of Linkedin). In my VERY extensive experience as a minister interacting with the LAPD and sincerely listening to community complaints of institutionalized racism and brutality, objective analysis of the complaints has shown the prevalence to be greatly exaggerated or even completely fabricated. I am not an expert nationwide, but at least on the LAPD, the cops can't barely use ANY force whatsoever without extensive review and scrutiny and availability to the public of that information.

In advocating for police accountability, prioritize community education to provide know-your-rights training & awareness. Call for policy reforms to enhance law enforcement transparency. Encourage constructive conversations between police officers & community members to foster trust. Document law enforcement encounters, advocate for legal reforms to address misconduct & leverage civilian oversight boards' power to monitor police activities. Form strategic alliances with groups committed to civil rights & police accountability to press for structural reform. Take holistic approaches to demand fairness & transparency & for law enforcement to be in tune with the community's needs to ensure community safety & the preservation of civil rights.

Police crimes in the Netherlands is what I have experienced and they operate like criminal organisations together with the Ministry of Justice and Security. They are kidnapping children for CPS and they have abducted me and dumped me on an island I was not born claiming I am not dutch while i was born in Aruba and claimed that I have voluntarily taken on another nationality. A birth right cannot be changed to another country. Identity theft has been done and forcing me to identify as the stolen person while given a new identity as an immigrant with no social security number.

I have been beaten, handcuffed, incarcerated for saving my heirs out of closed institutions and sexual abusive children farms, at gun point separated from my children for years now. There are no proof for any of their claims. These are war crimes. It has nothing to do with a so called job.

Make them pay money for waste, fraud, misuse and abuse that is not tax payer funded. Accountability has to equal dollars for there to be accountability in a public service.

An example I've seen is to engage both the police and the citizens on social right and need for accountability for both parties

Promoting police accountability in outreach and organizing efforts while minimizing dissent among police officers requires a delicate balance of transparency, collaboration, and respect. It's essential to approach the topic with sensitivity to the challenges and pressures officers face in their daily duties. Engaging in open dialogue and actively listening to officers' perspectives can help build mutual understanding and trust. Emphasizing the shared goal of public safety and building positive community relationships can also help align interests and foster cooperation. Highlighting the benefits of accountability measures, such as increased public trust and improved officer well-being, can help garner support from within the department.
