The National Law Enforcement Integrity Institute (NLEII) is committed to improving law enforcement practices and procedures and to building relationships with communities that are rooted in mutual trust, respect, and pride.
Abstract

Through training, consultation, assessment, and evaluation, NLEII will work in partnership with citizens and police departments to improve levels of professionalism, integrity, sensitivity, responsiveness, and fairness. Ultimately, NLEII programs will result in improved public safety, effective community liaisons, and improved skills for resolving community and cultural disputes. The basic premise of NLEII is that police departments must begin to be proactive in their response to social change. NLEII will teach participants to work with citizens and communities in a collaborative and interactive fashion. In addition to providing training, NLEII will conduct internal reviews and assessments of law enforcement agencies, as well as conduct an annual evaluation of its own program's effectiveness. This paper describes a proposed NLEII pilot program that would be conducted in Prince George's County, Md.
