People with Disabilities in the Criminal Justice System: Promising Legislation for Statewide Reforms
Join NCCJD as we delve into the stories that created statewide movements to pass legislation impacting people with disabilities in the criminal justice system as either suspects or victims of crime. Over the past two years, NCCJD has been compiling a database of such legislation in order to help criminal justice and disability professionals understand this issue from a national viewpoint and get an idea of what type of legislation is being passed and why. A brief overview of current findings will be discussed by NCCJD’s Program Manager.

The National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice will focus on the community perspective.

The Way of the Jedi: Developing the Balance Between the Warrior and Guardian Webinar
We are plagued with stories about police corruption, poor tactics, excessive use of force and as such public outcry for change is louder than ever.

Additionally, there continues to be a debate about if officers should be warrior or guardians and these conversations tend to create division and foster extreme response options that perpetuate officer imbalance.
