Task Force on Policing – CCJ
This is the Task Force on the Policing home page HERE
Make sure to check out the “Policy Assessments” page HERE where the task force examines some of the current topics in policing.
For example:
1. Chokeholds and Other Neck Restraints
The Task Force recommends the prohibition of all types of neck restraints, which can cause serious harm to individuals and police legitimacy.
2. Duty to Intervene
The Task Force recommends policies requiring officers to intervene upon witnessing excessive force and to report other misconduct and proscribed behaviors.
3. No-Knock Warrants and Police Raids
The Task Force recommends that jurisdictions prohibit or severely restrict no-knock and quick-knock warrants, which can pose harm to occupants and officers.
Twins, 9, donate thousands to police fund after cops save their lemonade stand
When someone stole their tip jar, Katelyn and Elias were devastated. Luckily, local first responders were in the mood for lemonade
This happens ALL THE TIME in communities across our nation where police, fireman, neighbors, the business community, and other groups of people step up to right the wrong of a bad person. It’s not always publicized. It is just GREAT AMERICANS doing the right thing. I think that at times we are so busy in our lives to stop and appreciate these small acts of kindness. I’m guilty of it. Then the children have the presence of mind to support “Shop with a COP” a holiday event that brings happiness to underprivileged families. AWESOME! I think the twins have a future turning lemons into lemonade.
