COP WATCH - Learn how to observe and document police misconduct in your community

Observing and documenting police misconduct – often referred to as “Cop Watch” -- is a tool to help hold officers accountable to respecting the dignity and rights of all New Yorkers.  To learn more about how to cop watch as an individual, visit copwatchnyc.org. 

You can also reach out to CPR members that lead our Cop Watch work, including training neighborhood and community-based teams:  Justice Committee, Malcolm X Grassroots Movement & CAAAV - Organizing Asian Communities (these three organizations run the Peoples Justice alliance, which is also a CPR member).
