Résumé
This document describes a COPS-funded project with the Vera Institute of Justice, who worked in conjunction with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to strengthen relations between police and new immigrant communities. Police officials met with members of three immigrant communities in a series of forums to discuss barriers to trust, strategies for building better police-community relations, and broader policy concerns affecting the police-community relationship. The report will assist police departments, local-level government officials, and community groups interested in building good relations between the police and immigrant communities.
