The crises of the past year and a half have unmasked many of the social issues our country has left unresolved for too long, chief among them the future of policing and community safety. The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and other unarmed people of color in the United States at the hands of law enforcement reignited the Black Lives Matter Movement and renewed calls for comprehensive police reform. We turn to leaders from academia, community organizing, and the government to reimagine the future of policing and community safety, together. What is the core mission of police work? What is the impact of the economy on police departments? And how can police departments and community leaders work together to ensure holistic community safety?
