Perspectives on Police Encounters | Policing the Police
Can police keep the community safe while still upholding citizens’ constitutional rights? In these videos from Policing the Police | FRONTLINE, journalist Jelani Cobb explores this crucial question with several Newark, New Jersey, police officers. Their conversation reveals the issues that law enforcement and people of color encounter, including police use of weapons during routine questioning, racial bias, police accountability, and the need for police to deal with potentially dangerous situations. These videos are part of the FRONTLINE Police Reform Collection.
