Policing the Police with Lisa Jackson PhD, July 2021

Dr. Lisa Jackson, current Chair of the Ann Arbor Police Oversight Commission, noted behavioral neuroscientist and professor of Psychology at Schoolcraft College, speaks on the commission's work. The Independent Community Police Oversight Commission was established as a step in reframing the relationship that the residents of Ann Arbor have with the police and an investment in the smart, equitable, community-oriented policing that the Ann Arbor Police Department strives for and that our community deserves. Dr. Lisa R. Jackson, psychology professor and department chair, has long been an activist pushing for greater accountability and transparency by law enforcement. Her passion, achievements and desire to create solutions are key reasons why Governor Gretchen Whitmer appointed Jackson to the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES). MCOLES executes its statutory responsibility to promote public safety in Michigan by setting standards for selection, employment, licensing, license revocation and funding in law enforcement and criminal justice, in both the public and private sectors. Jackson is one of three community members appointed to the Commission – the first time non-law enforcement people have been included. “By bringing more diverse voices together, we can enact important changes to police procedures and build a more equitable state,” Governor Whitmer said in a statement. “Having community leaders and the director of the Department of Civil Rights on this commission will help us ensure we’re enacting reforms to ensure everyone, no matter who they are, is treated fairly under the law. I look forward to working with this group and with everyone else who wants to build a more just, equitable Michigan.” “Police oversight boards are proliferating, but do they work?” https://abcn.ws/3isoD6S Coursera Police oversight “Teach-Out” with Dr. Lisa Jackson: https://bit.ly/3eEWuZb Ann Arbor’s ICPOC website: https://bit.ly/3BqUrSm NACOLE’s thirteen principles of effective police oversight: https://bit.ly/3zj9oUA Reenvisioning policing: takeaways from the ICPOC’s forum on the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder: https://bit.ly/36KvJ14 MI Public Health Program: https://www.mitrainingcenter.org/cour...
