In September 2021, the Center for Policing Equity launched the Justice Navigator — an interactive digital platform that provides community members and law enforcement agencies with the analyses, policy insights, and other tools they need to monitor and redesign public safety in their own communities.
Center for Policing Equity measures bias in policing. That means we can stop it.
One in five Americans interacts with law enforcement yearly. Of those encounters, one million result in use of force. And if you’re Black, you are two to four times more likely to have force used than if you are White.
Working directly with police to measure behaviors and revise policies results in fewer people killed and fewer people in jail.

Now, the nation is calling into question core assumptions about who and what keeps us safest.
