Police Misconduct

Accountability under the law must apply to everyone, including law enforcement. But investigating and prosecuting police misconduct presents unique challenges, from complex legal standards and investigative hurdles to intense public scrutiny. The Prosecutors Alliance helps prosecutors navigate these challenges by connecting them with experienced practitioners, specialized expertise, and opportunities to learn from colleagues across the country. Our goal is to strengthen prosecutors’ capacity to pursue these cases fairly, effectively, and independently.

Annual conference on the prosecution of law enforcement misconduct

In 2023, the Prosecutors Alliance launched the nation’s first annual conference dedicated to improving the investigation and prosecution of law enforcement misconduct. Each fall, the conference brings together prosecutors, legal experts, and experienced practitioners from across the country to share knowledge, strengthen skills, and build a national community committed to fair and effective accountability.

Through expert presentations, case studies, and small-group discussions, participants explore the challenges unique to these cases, including investigative independence, complex legal standards, expert testimony, trial strategies, and navigating public scrutiny. The conference emphasizes practical tools, peer learning, and strategies prosecutors can bring back to their offices.
