The Center for Policing Equity uses science to promote justice. Through our data-driven strategies, we work to end racial bias in policing and provide public safety solutions that communities want and law enforcement can get behind.

We believe that you have to measure a problem to change it, so we collect and analyze data on stops, arrests, and use of force, and then use science to make recommendations that eliminate biased police behavior and policy. With a 12-year track record, CPE has partnered with over 45 law enforcement agencies to build fairer and more just systems, and we work to bridge the divide of communication, generational mistrust, and suffering. Our data-driven solutions serve more than 63 million people in communities across North America. Through each initiative, CPE demonstrates the power and impact of evidence-based change. Our goal is to reimagine community public safety systems that are just and equitable system that continue long after cameras are gone or a hashtag stops trending. We will not stop working until disparities in public safety are eradicated. Racial justice can’t wait. Science shows it doesn’t have to.

We are research scientists, race and equity experts, data virtuosos, and community trainers. We use data to build a more fair and just system. We partner with law enforcement and communities. Our aim is to bridge the divide of communication, generational mistrust, and suffering. But most of all, we are the path that science can forge towards public safety, community trust, and racial equity.
