Seidler and Scott Discussing Ideas

Individual Rights

Public Safety

Further Strengthen Citizen/Police Relationships Grounded

Citizens/Police are Divided/Distrustful

Benefits of Public Safety:

1.Community trust increases, top draw for law enforcement

2.Reduction of crime and victimization

3.Increased sense of safety

Costs from too much focus on Public Safety to neglect of Individual Rights

1.Mistrust of police department, unjust

2.Lose community’s willingness to help

3.People feel invisible, treated like objects with no value

Benefits of Individual Rights:

1. Reduced conflict between law enforcement and community, recruiting benefit for law enforcement

2.Fosters better community leadership

3.Fosters feeling of respect

Costs from too much focus on Individual Rights to neglect of Public Safety:

1.Loss of trust in municipal authority by citizens, law enforcement don’t want to work here

2.Increase in crime/disrespect of law

3.Lack sense of safety

Regardless of the circumstances or who was right or wrong, the outcome was the same – communities were being ripped apart. I care deeply about Charleston, its citizens and my officers and I wondered would we be next? My answer came on June 17, 2015.

The Illumination Project Strategic Planning and Implementation Report

Five Strategic Goals: 2017 — 2020

Goal 1 | Different Cultures and Backgrounds

Goal 2 | Respectful, Trusting Relationships

Goal 3 | Training Curriculum

Goal 4 | Policies and Procedures

Goal 5 | Community Policing

Ten 2016 High Priority Strategies

Goal 1: Develop better understanding between citizens and police of different cultures, backgrounds, and experiences to build mutually beneficial relationships

1.2P Objective: Police contribute to creation of diverse partnerships to enhance community safety

STRATEGY 1 Collaborate with citizens who are disproportionately impacted by crime to develop crime reduction strategies to improve relationships and gain cooperation

Measurement: Identify the top 5 crime prone neighborhoods within the city based on crime analysis data; conduct listening sessions within these neighborhoods to build a mutual understanding and strategy to address crime; measure change in crime rates; measure change in relationships by involving neighbors to conduct a door-to-door survey

Getting the Word Out

Listening Session Approach: 6 C’s

Convene Create Context Connect to the Content Craft Your Preferred Future Commit to the Cause Close

Listening Session Defined This approach substantively improves the relationship between the police and the citizens they serve.

This substantive improvement happens through mindset change, behavioral change, and structural change.

These three types of change are substantive, begin immediately, and stick.

The Illumination Project, if it is to realize its full potential, needs to become a regular way of working and living in the city of Charleston. When it becomes this type of ongoing process we will both have completed our work and at the same time ensured the work to further improve the relationship between citizens and police, with trust and legitimacy, will never end.
