Frier Levitt Partner William Hurlock will be a featured presenter in an upcoming webinar with the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement, titled “Beyond Washington: Local Civilian Oversight of Police Without DOJ Intervention.” The program will examine how cities can build effective civilian oversight systems for policing even when federal involvement from the U.S. Department of Justice is limited or unavailable.
Learning Objectives
Panelists will discuss practical approaches to strengthening oversight, including investigative best practices, data management strategies, and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of oversight bodies. The session will also address the political and structural challenges cities face when implementing oversight mechanisms, including navigating union agreements and fostering constructive engagement with law enforcement while maintaining independence.
Attendees will gain insight into how local governments and oversight bodies can promote accountability, strengthen oversight frameworks, and build public trust through sustainable local initiatives.
