Arizona State University Foundation’s Sentinel Event Review of Police Use of Force & Vulnerable Populations
The AAA-ICDR Foundation has granted $250,000 to the Arizona State University Foundation to convene a conference for law enforcement agencies and state policymakers to explain how Sentinel Event Reviews (SERs) would benefit their agencies and the criminal justice system as a whole. Once law enforcement agencies are on board, up to four incidents of police use of excessive force will be selected for the review process, with each SER resulting in its own final report detailing findings and recommendations for systemic improvements. The reports will then be shared with the agencies involved in the reviewed incidents and the public at large—and restorative justice sessions will be held for those involved in each incident, based on volunteer participation. Ultimately, the goal is to be able to propose legislation for SERs to review police uses of force.
