In 2021, New Jersey implemented new use-of-force policies, including mandatory training in de-escalation and peer intervention. But, how have these initiatives impacted officers and their day-to-day policing practices?
The National Policing Institute conducted a multi-year evaluation, surveying over 31,000 officers who completed Integrating Communications, Assessment and Tactics (ICAT) and Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement (ABLE) training to assess the impact.
This research offers a rare look into how officers perceive these training efforts and what it means for public safety. Whether you’re a law enforcement leader, policymaker or researcher, the data offers valuable direction for future initiatives.
From this extensive work, NPI has already created a suite of resources for the field, including the full report, executive summary and a how-to guide for summarizing data for the public. Additionally, a journal article about these findings was published. But, we aren’t done. More resources which will enhance the impact of the use-of-force and de-escalation training are coming.
