Policing in America is at a terrifyingly critical moment due to past and continuing resentment, distrust, and fear of the police by some minorities and other members of society. While at the same time, each time a police officer engages in a citizen encounter, they must consider the possibility of being killed or assaulted by a member of the very same society they have sworn to protect.
NEFI through dialogue, civic engagement, independent assessments of police departments, expert court opinions and its peer-reviewed journal (U.S. Journal of Police Use of Force and Practices) individually and collectively attempt to create national exchange of communications for the enrichment of the policing profession, security of our great nation and the physical and psychological well-being of the individuals stopped by the police.
