Last week, nearly one year following the death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of members of the Memphis Police Department's SCORPION unit, the DOJ released a guide for state and local police agencies to consider in developing & maintaining "specialized police units." This is the result of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) and the National Policing Institute (NPI) convening "a series of meetings in 2023 to discuss specialized units in state, local, tribal and territorial law enforcement agencies and create guidance for those agencies' leadership to consider when forming, managing, and disbanding such units. It includes sections on identifying the need for a specialized unit; selecting the unit's membership and leadership; managing the unit; establishing its policies, procedures, and end date; holding the unit and its members accountable; and working with the community when they have feed on the specialized unit's operations." I'm still reading/digesting the 72-page report (the link to the report is posted in the comments below). I'm curious to hear from current/former managers and supervisors of such specialized units with their views of the report. In my opinion, appropriate supervision and accountability of these units is the key to the units' success. Many negative high-profile incidents involving these units have demonstrated time and again that proper supervision was non-existent or lacking. #lawenforcement #police #policeofficers #deputy #taskforce #policetraining

🗣My candid perspective on Minneapolis Police Reform and the new MPD contract. "The Minneapolis Police Department contract should be prioritized AND Community Violence Intervention and Prevention partners as integral, not an afterthought. C.V.I.P organizations engage intensively with individuals who do not collaborate with the police. Minneapolis must commit to Brian O'Hara's vision of funding a new police contract, and to his leadership of guiding the city through its next phase of Federal and State consent decrees towards humane policing. The city of Minneapolis should also ensure consistent funding to Director Luana Brown and the Neighborhood Safety Department, for internal infrastructure, and bridging gaps for remaining public safety alternatives to policing provided by community violence intervention and prevention- from hospital rooms to local communities, intervening, de-escalation and preventing gun violence, assaults, overdoses, and trauma among highly sensitive individuals is a full-time job. "It's a Both/And approach, not just police versus us; it's police AND us," as Abdul-Brown aptly puts it."

Trust and confidence in the police are crucial for effective law enforcement and maintaining public order, but in recent years, there have been significant declines in public trust in both the U.S. and U.K. Strategies such as enhancing procedural justice in police interactions, adopting community policing approaches, and reforming police culture from a "warrior" to a "guardian" mindset are essential for rebuilding trust and confidence between police forces and the communities they serve.
