Established in 2015 at New York University School of Law, the Policing Project is a policy and research center dedicated to strengthening policing through democratic governance. By promoting engagement between police departments and the communities they serve, and creating stronger systems of transparency and accountability, the Policing Project aims to improve public safety and the legitimacy of policing within communities. This award enables the Policing Project to continue to partner with the City of Chicago, Chicago residents, and the Chicago Police Department (CPD) on the implementation and expansion of the Neighborhood Policing Initiative (NPI), which sets up a functional community policing structure within CPD while giving communities a voice in how they are policed. The project's goal is to enable the police to partner effectively with the community in the coproduction of public safety, in the process to create models of effective interventions for improving trust in police and community well-being that can be brought to scale.
