Police Accountability

Police brutality and misconduct disproportionately harm communities of color, people with disabilities, and low-income individuals. Lawyers for Civil Rights has successfully litigated police misconduct cases and has a proven record of securing reforms—including the adoption of cultural competency and implicit bias training in response to identity-based profiling. Our work challenges discriminatory policing practices that target individuals based on race, gender identity, and perceived vulnerability. Through this work, LCR advances both public safety and community policing.
