Summary

"This report is organized around five assessment questions. They are: 1. What is the evidence that LVMPD is making progress in tactical and verbal de-escalation? 2. How has LVMPD changed organizationally to increase transparency and improve communication with the community related to OIS? 3. What is the evidence that LVMPD is engaging with the community in authentic ways? 4. How has the number of fatal and non-fatal OIS incidents changed? 5. What was the impact on officer safety? The Conclusion of this report identifies themes that emerged when looking across questions and highlights key findings. It is our intent that the experiences of LVMPD that are presented below can provide useful learning to other CRI-TA sites and other law enforcement agencies that are engaged in reform work." -- Page 8.
