Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative Seal
To assist state and local law enforcement agencies in understanding their role when responding to a First Amendment-Protected event, the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative recently published the Recommendations for First Amendment-Protected Events for State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies resource guide and The Role of State and Local Law Enforcement at First Amendment Events Reference Card. These two products are designed to provide in-depth recommendations for agencies to utilize as they prepare for and respond to these types of events. As officers respond to First Amendment-protected events, integral in their response is the protection of privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties; as such, both resources emphasize the key role officers have in upholding these protections, while fulfilling their public safety mission.
