Funded 2002-2003
Citizens for Peaceful Communities was formed to advocate
for police accountability in the wake of increasing
militarization of police forces and aggressive encounters
with the public. CPC believes that independent civilian
oversight of policing and just handling of complaints of
police misconduct are necessary links in the chain of public
accountability. CPC also seeks to counter racial stereotyping,
profiling, and public order programs.
