4th Symposium on CLE & IP

Become a sponsor.

Our theme for 2024 is Evaluating Community Policing: Through The Lens of Systematically-Impacted Citizens.  SFJ decided on this topic due to the climate and the call for transparency, accountability, and public safety. However, this conversation usually leaves out the voices of those systematically impacted and those currently within the criminal justice system. In staying true to the mission of  Strategies for Justice, we are utilizing the power of stories as a foundation for reform. We will explore the critical components of community policing: Community Partnerships, Organizational Transformation, and Problem-Solving as outlined by the U.S. Department of Justice. Our two-tier workshops will provide insight into what successful community policing looks like through the lens of law enforcement and those whom the criminal justice system has systematically impacted.

What we mean by Conscious Law Enforcement

We intend to take the first steps to develop a consciousness of how generational trauma impacts community and law enforcement relations by learning, engaging, and building a  pathway toward healing.

What we mean by Inclusive Practices

We intend to take the second step to develop inclusive practices inside and outside of law enforcement by documenting our consciousness and engaging in teaching, research, and legislative change.
