CBC Police Accountability Task Force Hosts Police-Community Relations Forum
On Wednesday May 22, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC)’s Police Accountability Taskforce will bring together advocates, law enforcement experts, and victims, including the mother of Oscar Grant, for a forum to discuss the work of President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, the state of policing under President Trump, and new recommendations to improve law enforcement interactions with communities of color.
The Task Force was established to address the crisis of unnecessary police violence and escalation, particularly against victims of color, developing policy proposals to improve relationships between communities and the law enforcement officers sworn to protect them, and reduce the apparent racial bias in the outcomes of police encounters.
