The letter outlined the following recommendations in four areas directly impacting children and adolescents (in addition to the those put forth by the USDOJ Investigation letter regarding policies for use of force, crisis intervention training in working with the mentally ill, protocols for evaluating the use of force, and improved data collection and monitoring measures): (1) incorporate developmentally-informed law enforcement strategies; (2) adopt trauma-informed policing; (3) address implicit bias; and (4) reevaluate the role of police in the school setting. We urged these be incorporated into any consent decree.
