Advocating for Fair, Effective Police Practices that Improve the Safety of Our Communities.

No one wants to be a victim of crime, nor of biased-based policing practices. In order for law enforcement to truly fulfill its mission to “protect and serve,” police and sheriffs’ departments must implement strategies that are just, that are cost-efficient, and that improve community trust.

Only with the collaboration and input of law enforcement, community members, and policy-makers can we bring about needed change in Texas. Effective community policing practices will encourage communication and improve the protection of the public.

Our Public Safety Project engages in research and provides public education materials that address best practices in law enforcement. We seek to offer community members and law enforcement agencies the tools to work together to implement effective, public safety-focused, value-driven police services.
