{"product_id":"2940013613942","title":"Principles For Promoting Police Integrity, Examples of Promising Police Practices and Policies","description":"For the past 8 years, police officers around this country have been doing an heroic job in helping this nation reduce crime rates. As a result, many neighborhoods are safer and better places to live. And for the past eight years, I have worked to encourage a style of policing that gets officers into the\u003cbr\u003ecommunity and engaged with the neighborhoods they serve. For community policing to be successful, and crime reduction efforts to be effective, citizens must have trust in the police. All of us must work together to address the problems of excessive use of force and racial profiling, and -- equally important -- the perceptions of many minority residents that law enforcement\u003cbr\u003etreats them unfairly, if we are to build the confidence in law enforcement necessary for continued progress. Our goal must be professional law enforcement that gives all citizens of our country the feeling that they are being treated fairly, equally and with respect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn June 1999, President Clinton and I brought together police executives, union representatives, academic experts, civil rights and community leaders, for a conference “Strengthening Police-Community Relationships.” That conference and our follow up meetings have highlighted the need to identify police\u003cbr\u003epractices that build trust, enhance police accountability, and reduce police misconduct.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have sought to identify and develop general principles of police practices that are effective in promoting police integrity. We hope that by sharing what we have learned, we can build on the voluntary efforts being made by police departments around the country to improve their services, and more clearly\u003cbr\u003estate what communities can expect of us as law enforcement agencies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur goal in publishing this document is not to prescribe standards for law enforcement agencies. Law enforcement agencies vary significantly in size, mission and the services they provide. What may work for one department may not work for another. We also understand that local innovation will produce\u003cbr\u003eadditional models. However, we believe that law enforcement agencies can use the principles set forth here to help assess whether they are implementing practices that promote civil rights integrity.","brand":"http:\/\/realfastbook.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147532157168,"sku":"2940013613942","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013613942_p0.jpg?v=1763583031","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013613942","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
