Abstract: In December 2014, the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing was established to identify best practices and make recommendations on how policing practices can promote effective crime reduction while building public trust. To inform its work, the task force facilitated seven listening sessions, hearing testimony from 140 witnesses and reviewing volumes of written testimony, and submitted its final report to the President in May 2015. This implementation guide is a companion to the Final Report of the President's Task Force on 21st Policing(PDF)that outlines strategies to help communities, law enforcement, and local government implement the 59 recommendations.
