COMMUNITY CONTROL OF POLICE
Embedded Files
NOCOP is now the New Orleans Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression
A Community Police Accountability Council (CPAC) is a council with the power to control the police. The council would be made up of people who have ZERO ties to law enforcement, are elected by the community in their police district, and are long-term organizers with a track record of fighting for marginalized communities.
A CPAC would have the power to: hire and fire NOPD officers, review and approve the NOPD annual budget, appoint the NOPD superintendent and create rules and regulations for the NOPD.
We join the ranks of other organizations across the US who are demanding the formation of CPACs in their own cities. In Chicago, an ordinance that would enable more oversight of police was recently passed as a result of community organizing. Community control of the police is possible! We see it happening all over the country! Let's make it happen in New Orleans!
