The US Department of Justice (DOJ) recently released, Police-Media Interactions During Mass Demonstrations, a new report which seeks to help law enforcement improve the response to demonstrations specifically through recommendations for police-media interactions. The report, produced by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) and the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), in collaboration with the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (Reporters Committee), details how law enforcement and members of the media can better recognize each other, have an increased understanding of their unique roles, and take steps to improve their interactions when carrying out their duties to the public.
