Hold Harrisburg Police Accountable!
Support the creation of a Civilian Complaint Review Board to 1) investigate complaints of alleged police misconduct and 2) issue recommendations to Harrisburg police and city leaders regarding discipline, policies, procedures, and programs.
Why is this important?
This Stops Today Harrisburg, a local social justice group, aims to address institutional and personal racial bias through police accountability and community engagement. We are starting this petition to help our city avoid the tragedies we’ve seen in Ferguson, New York, and nationwide and to build a strong, community-centered model of policing that dissolves racial tensions.
