The Davenport Grand Hotel, SpokaneThe ACLU of Washington encourages you to attend the 2017 Annual National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement (NACOLE) conference from September 10-14, 2017 in Spokane, Washington.
This year’s conference theme is “Civilian Oversight in a Changing Landscape.” From the conference’s website:
“Increased attention given to incidents of police misconduct has, in turn, given increased attention to civilian oversight and its important role as a necessary component of sustainable reform. This has been demonstrated by the establishment and strengthening of civilian oversight agencies throughout the country, its inclusion in the Final Report of the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing, and the overwhelming votes to strengthen civilian oversight in the cities of Denver, Honolulu, New Orleans, Oakland, and San Francisco in the November election.
Although attention on civilian oversight has increased nationally, those working in, around, and for civilian oversight are navigating a changing landscape. New leadership at the federal level has already questioned the need for and results of police reform efforts over the last several years. Despite the challenges these changes have already made clear, there may be other opportunities for continuing those efforts. With the continuing need for expanding and institutionalizing civilian oversight, it is imperative that we work to identify and make the most of those opportunities.
Join us this September in Spokane, Washington as NACOLE and the oversight community comes together to discuss the changing landscape, inevitable challenges, and the determination to continue the work to affect real and sustainable reform. This year's annual conference will feature four tracks:
