NYUL Project Ready Team Case Competition Submission

Our scholars were charged with reviewing the National Urban League's 21 Pillars for Redefining Public Safety and Restoring Community Trust and focused on a pillar that would lead to improved police/community relations. Our scholars selected the 20th pillar which focuses on training for police officers. Their process included interviews, research, field trips and culminated in a narrative report and video submission.
