 | On October 8, 2014, The U.S. Conference of Mayors and the COPS Office brought nearly 40 mayors and more than 30 police chiefs to the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the COPS Program and to discuss and assess, over two days, community policing practices currently being employed to prevent and reduce crime and violence in the nation's cities. The events in Ferguson, Missouri, following the August 9, 2014, police-involved shooting of an unarmed teenager and its impact on policing dominated much of the discussion. Former President Bill Clinton and then Attorney General Eric Holder addressed the gathering. Most of the meeting, however, was devoted to panel presentations and open discussion of six subjects judged by the Conference of Mayors and the COPS Office to be of value in assessing current law enforcement problems and in describing promising approaches to the most difficult challenges faced by mayors and police chiefs as they collaborate to serve and protect their city residents.By Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS)Categories: Community PartnershipsLanguage: EnglishPublic link
