 | Public trust in law enforcement and the legitimacy it confers are pillars of fair and effective policing. That trust may be built by consistent, constructive communication; it may be shaken by critical law enforcement actions, such as a use of force or an act or failure to act perceived as excessive or bias-motivated. These critical actions may affect law enforcement–community trust across the country, even in communities far from the originating incident. This guide, Tools for Building Trust: Designing Law Enforcement–Community Dialogue and Reacting to the Use of Deadly Force and other Critical Law Enforcement Actions, offers law enforcement agencies proactive ways to build trust and legitimacy through intentional law enforcement–community dialogue and identifies ideas and actions law enforcement might take reactively to draw on that accrued trust and rebuild relationships in the immediate aftermath of a critical law enforcement action. Leveraging social science research and case studies of existing law enforcement–community dialogue processes, this guide offers four considerations for the immediate aftermath of critical law enforcement actions as well as ideas for collaboratively developing and proactive, long-term dialogue and sustaining its outcomes.By Divided Community ProjectCategories: Community Partnerships • Foundations of Community PolicingLanguage: EnglishLow stockPublic link
