Dismantling
white
supremacy

Recent instances of law enforcement officers supporting or otherwise aligning themselves with White supremacist organizations, ideals, and other hate groups erode public trust in law enforcement.

Law enforcement agencies must affirm their commitment to racial equity and work to eradicate affiliations with White supremacist and other hate groups among their officers. At the individual officer level, law enforcement agencies can take action to identify, discipline, and remove officers with affiliations to hate groups. At the same time, agencies and state-level commissions on police standards can implement policies to create an institutional culture that is inhospitable to White supremacy and other hateful ideologies.

“LEAs should leave no doubt as to where they stand, and expressly affirm their commitment to racial justice and non-discrimination.”

“LEAs must work together with communities to understand the problems caused by hate groups and paramilitary groups in law enforcement, and to craft an appropriate institutional response.”
