National Police Accountability Project Inc
The National Police Accountability Project (NPAP) is one of the few national organizations that focuses solely on ending law enforcement overreach and abuse of power. We approach the problem of policing from all sides, using litigation, legislative advocacy and community-based solutions to achieve policy and system reform knowing we need all these tools to achieve transformative change.NPAP’s network of 500+ civil rights attorney members brings thousands of lawsuits against police departments, jails and prisons across the country. This vast and deep knowledge of and investigation into policing culture has made the organization an expert in policing and effective police reform.
National Police Accountability Project (NPAP) is a 501(c)(3) organization and a project of the National Lawyers Guild, which was founded in 1937 as the first racially integrated national bar association. In 1999, NPAP was created as a non-profit to protect the human and civil rights of individuals in their encounters with law enforcement and detention facility personnel. The central mission of NPAP is to promote the accountability of law enforcement officers and their employers for violations of the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
With over 500 members and growing, we continue to effect change in the flawed legal system and fight to put an end to police brutality of all forms. NPAP does not provide legal representation to victims of law enforcement misconduct.
