Police Reform in Action
State of New Jersey
In response to the Attorney General’s Excellence in Policing Initiative announced in 2019, Benchmark partnered with the Office of the AG and the state of New Jersey to create a first-in-the-nation statewide Use-of-Force Reporting Portal. This web-based portal is designed to track detailed and standardized information as a tool for analyzing use-of-force trends, including identifying racial disparities.
“…We will take further steps to build
upon our progress and deepen the well
of trust in our communities, including the
first update of our use-of-force policies
in two decades.”
