The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing was established in 2014 to identify best practices that would promote effective crime reduction while building public trust. Findings were released in a final report in May 2015.
The final report recommended an outline built on six core pillars of effective law enforcement and service to communities.
Pillar 1: Building Trust and Legitimacy
Pillar 2: Policy and Oversight
Pillar 3: Technology and Social Media
Pillar 4: Community Policing and Crime Reduction
Pillar 5: Officer Training and Education
Pillar 6: Officer Wellness and Safety
Our Police Department fully embraces the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing and has a standing department committee reviewing the Pillars and evaluating the recommendations under each, in particular, Pillar Four ‘Community Policing and Crime Reduction.’ A list of GBPD community policing initiatives and efforts are kept current under our website’s Open Data Portal. The committee releases updates to all personnel on their work.
