COMMUNITY POLICING

Positions of the

National Black Police Association

COMMUNITY POLICING. The NBPA supports the philosophy of Community Policing that calls for a true, cooperative, partnership between the Community and the Police for safer communities.

CONTROL OF NARCOTICS. The NBPA believes the influx of hard narcotics into this country can only be controlled by a joint effort between the supplying country and the federal government.

CRIME PREVENTION. The NBPA supports the allocation of more national and local crime fighting resources toward the prevention of crime.

DEATH PENALTY. The NBPA protest the application of the Death Penalty in all instances. The NBPA feels the Death Penalty is un-American, unjust, and unconstitutional.

HANDGUN CONTROL. The NBPA supports national handgun legislation prohibiting further manufacturing of handguns, and limiting their sales, possession, and use.

POLICE BRUTALITY. Police brutality must be confronted, controlled, and outlawed by all police departments throughout the United States.

POLICE RESIDENCY. Police should be required and have their official residency in the city or municipality in which they are employed.

WOMEN IN POLICE WORK. The NBPA supports women as equal and equitable partners in the field of law enforcement, and believes them capable of performing equally as well as their male counterparts.
