WASHINGTON – Police agencies, government officials and civil rights advocates are invited to a July 15 open house for Project ABLE hosted by Georgetown Law’s Innovative Policing Program.

WHAT

Building on research and successful model programs in New Orleans, Baltimore and beyond, Project ABLE (Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement) will help agencies nationwide reduce harm by creating a police culture of peer intervention, also known as “active bystandership.” A July 15 open house will feature experts who designed the program and police departments already benefiting from its strategies, including redefining loyalty among officers. Georgetown Law’s Innovative Policing Program, in partnership with global law firm Sheppard Mullin, will provide all committed law enforcement agencies with ABLE resources and training, including the first national “train-the-trainer” event in September.
