Urgent Priorities to Further Our Reform Efforts

The field of oversight of law enforcement has grown significantly in the last few years. With it, the needs of practitioners and communities looking to establish civilian oversight have also grown; the current national outcry for police reform has accelerated that growth rapidly. NACOLE is working hard to meet the demand but money is often a limiting factor. With your help, we could increase our capacity for outreach, advocacy, and education. We want to strengthen and expand oversight throughout the country, and give those tasked with doing this challenging and essential work the support and professional development they need to be strong, effective community-change agents. Your donation will directly support NACOLE’s top 3 priorities:

1. Advocacy for civilian oversight

2. Training of oversight professionals

3. Defining and defending oversight with state-of-the-field research and data

    2025 Regional Meeting Series: New York City

    In partnership with the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board, NACOLE is excited to announce that it will hold the first of two regional meetings in 2025 in New York City on May 13, 2025. We hope that you will be able to join us for this much-anticipated and important event, which will take place at the New York City College of Technology in Brooklyn. 

    This Regional Meeting is a training and networking event geared toward a variety of audiences, including oversight practitioners, community members, justice system stakeholders, and academics, among others. It will seek to address issues important to the region and those who support, are interested in, or work in the field of civilian oversight of law enforcement. In particular, speakers will address:

    - challenges and threats to oversight,
    - trends in the field,
    - the importance of community engagement, and
    - strategies to ensure the long-term viability of oversight and to strengthen civilian oversight overall.

    The Regional Meeting is open to all who wish to attend. The fee for registration is $55. The fee includes a full day of educational panels and a continental breakfast. If you are unable to afford the full cost of registration, please email [email protected] to discuss. If the full registration fee is cost-prohibitive (for those not seeking CLE or CPO credits), the fee will be waived or covered by donations. To the extent possible, no one will be turned away due to an inability to pay.

    Registration fees are non-refundable, except in the event of emergencies. In the event of an emergency, please email [email protected]. Please note, if a refund is issued, a $20 processing fee will be withheld.
