In February 2021, The National Center on Restorative Justice hosted a “Think Tank” Institute on Restorative Approaches to Policing. This event brought together law enforcement officers and community program leaders from around the country that are involved in innovative approaches to policing grounded in the philosophy, values, and practices of restorative justice.
In the lead-up to the event, representatives from each of the programs and police departments involved were asked to fill out a survey providing some basic information about their program or approach. This information was then distilled into the one-page descriptions of each program included in this report.
