Police Practices Resources

This national calendar of publicly accessible events related to police practices including police ethics, accountability, and reforms was created collaboratively between law librarians and the ABA Legal Education Police Practices Consortium. The Consortium "aims to contribute to the national effort examining and addressing legal issues in policing and public safety, including conduct, oversight, and the evolving nature of police work." 

The population of this calendar relies on colleagues around the country to submit events to the calendar. Events can be submitted in two ways:

1. Complete this short Events Submission Form, or

2.  Email the event details to LawCatCollaborative.

We will add the events within 24 hours each business day. 

You can access the calendar in a web browser and add it to your outlook calendar (iCal). You are welcome to embed the calendar into your website or LibGuide as well. 

Thank you!
