Center for Policing Equity
About the Project:
The Justice Navigator is a project initiated by the Center for Policing Equity (CPE) that aims to identify and address racial disparities in policing practices. It provides assessments to participating police departments, analyzing their data alongside crime statistics to highlight any disparities in police behavior and policies that disproportionately affect Black, Brown, and marginalized communities. These assessments are publicly available on the Justice Navigator homepage, serving as a resource for understanding and addressing oppressive policing practices. Additionally, the platform offers guidance for law enforcement agencies and communities to promote equitable public safety measures.
