The New York City Policing Roundtable (NYCPR) fosters continuing relationships between civil rights attorneys, community organizers, advocates, community members, and others who work to end police misconduct. NYCPR seeks to reduce police misconduct in New York City by community organizing, advocacy, public education, litigation support, and research.

NYCPR members believe that organizing around highly publicized and severe acts of police misconduct, or pursuing piecemeal litigation strategies for the compensation of individual plaintiffs, have not led to sustained reforms in the operations of the New York City Police Department. Therefore, NYCPR seeks to create consistent links between advocates, organizers, and community members, and a steady drumbeat of combined voices calling for improved policing.

ROUNDTABLE: Members of the Roundtable share information, advocacy strategies, and new policy and legal developments by participation in group meetings and listservs.

COPP: The NYCPR Community Oversight of Policing Project (COPP) advocates and organizes to reduce police misconduct. Law students, organizers, and volunteers engage in both individual advocacy and community organizing with grassroots coalitions fighting police misconduct.
