Trust between law enforcement agencies and the people they protect and serve is essential in a democracy. It is the key to the stability of our communities, the integrity of our criminal justice system, and the safe and effective delivery of policing services.
In light of events that have exposed rifts in the relationships between local police and the communities they protect and serve, on December 18, 2014, President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order establishing the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. The President charged the task force with identifying best practices and offering recommendations on how policing practices can promote effective crime reduction while building public trust. The task force members sought expertise from stakeholders and input from the public through listening sessions, teleconferences, and written comments as they worked to identify best practices and make recommendations to the President.

submitted written testimony to study the problems from all perspectives.

The task force also offered two overreaching recommendations: the President should support the creation of a National Crime and Justice Task Force to examine all areas of criminal justice and propose reforms; as a corollary to this effort, the task force also recommended that the President support programs that take a comprehensive and inclusive look at community-based initiatives addressing core issues such as poverty, education, and health and safety.
The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office, under the Department of Justice, is supporting national efforts to implement the recommendations outlined in the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing Report. The Task Force recommendations provide meaningful solutions to help law enforcement agencies and communities strengthen trust and collaboration, while ushering the nation into the next phase of community-focused policing.
The members of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing are convinced that the recommendations for research, action, and further study will bring long-term improvements to the ways in which law enforcement agencies interact with and bring positive change to their communities. It is also recognized that through policies and practices already in place, recommendations from the report can move forward. The following items were proposed for immediate action:
• The President should direct all federal law enforcement agencies to review the recommendations made by the Task Force on 21st Century Policing and, to the extent practicable, to adopt those that can be implemented at the federal level
• The U.S. Department of Justice should explore public-private partnership opportunities, starting by convening a meeting with local, regional, and national foundations to discuss the proposals for reform described in the Task Force’s report and seeking their engagement and support in advancing implementation of these recommendations.
• The U.S. Department of Justice should charge its Office of Community Oriented Policing Services with assisting the law enforcement field in addressing current and future challenges.
