21st Century Policing: Lessons from Cincinnati
February 22, 2016 - 4:00pm to 5:30pm
Ferguson, Cleveland, Baltimore, Chicago... Cities across America are in crisis, grappling with the need to enact meaningful reforms in the wake of a growing spotlight on the use of deadly force by police officers.
Cincinnati, once synonymous with broken policing, has been put forward as model for reform in all of these cities and more--thanks to more than a decade of hard, sustained work by a broad array of community organizations, police leaders, federal officials, academics, and many others.
We've convened a discussion with some of the key participants in Cincinnati's reforms. With others, they worked together to develop and implement the new approach to policing that has garnered such national attention. They'll be joined by a leader from the Detroit Police Department for reflections on what the lessons of Cincinnati might hold for communities here in Southeast Michigan and elsewhere.
Free and open to the public. Reception to follow. The event will be live web-streamed. Please visit this page on the day of the event for viewing access information.
