Working Together With Law Enforcement

Did you learn more about how your local law enforcement is addressing issues of hate and bias? How can you work with them to prevent bias incidents? As law enforcement representatives, did you gain any insights about how to respond to bias incidents? How can you help to strengthen relations between your community and law enforcement?

Highlights from the "Working Together with Law Enforcement" breakout session:

1.Build trust with the community
2.Integrate law enforcement with community groups and citizens
3.Camp Anytown (Palo Alto program)
4.Establish a Gang Task Force that includes the community
5.Encourage reporting
6.Evaluate officers based on their ability to work with the community
7.Reach out to students/youth, since hate crimes start young
