Ferguson, Cleveland, Baltimore, Chicago ... Cities across America are in crisis, grappling with the need to enact meaningful reforms in the wake of a growing spotlight on the use of deadly force by police officers.
Cincinnati, once synonymous with broken policing, has been put forward as model for reform in all of these cities and more--thanks to more than a decade of hard, sustained work by a broad array of community organizations, police leaders, federal officials, academics, and many others.
We've convened a discussion with some of the key participants in Cincinnati’s reforms. With others, they worked together to develop and implement the new approach to policing that has garnered such national attention. They'll be joined by a leader from the Detroit Police Department for reflections on what the lessons of Cincinnati might hold for communities here in Southeast Michigan and elsewhere.
Panelists:
Rev. Damon Lynch III, New Prospect Baptist Church, Cincinnati, OH. Community activist and former President of the Cincinnati Black United Front, which led the class action lawsuit against the Cincinnati Police Department.
James Whalen, former Assistant Chief, Cincinnati Police Department. Public Safety Director, University of Cincinnati.
Saul A. Green (BA '69, JD '72), independent federal monitor who oversaw implementation of the Cincinnati reforms. Litigation and Trial Group, Miller Canfield.
Professor John Eck (MPP '77), University of Cincinnati. Academic consultant for the reforms.
James White, Assistant Chief, Detroit Police Department
Moderators:
David Thacher, Associate Professor of Public Policy and Urban Planning
Reuben Miller, Assistant Professor of Social Work; Faculty Associate, Population Studies Center, Institute for Social Research
