Effective Law Enforcement for All

Letter from ELE4A: Honor #TyreNichols through Action and Engagement.

This challenge presents a danger to our young people who police may mistake for being armed with a deadly weapon. We need to inform the public of this threat and remind our police that young people may not appreciate the potential risk. We all have a role in preventing tragedy.

npr.org/2022/03/16/108… Because everyone wants to get home safely, ELEFA wants you to know the dangers of the Orbeez challenge.

We are pleased to announce that ELEFA has received a grant of $149,500 from @ICDRorg “to support the creation of a national education campaign focused on constructive engagement promoting best practices in law and public safety.” Related programming will be announced shortly!

Meet Dr. Ashley Brown Burns, our Co-Founder and Executive Director. With a Ph.D. in Public Policy from Duke University and over a decade of experience in the police reform space, Ashley is an invaluable resource at ELEFA and a powerful advocate for better, effective policing.

Meet David Douglass, our Co-Founder and President. A graduate of Yale and Harvard Law, now Partner at Sheppard Mullin, he co-founded ELEFA after discovering the collaborative, rather than coercive, potential of consent decrees for police reform. Thank you, David, for all you do.

ELEFA was formed to help police, civic, and community leaders partner to reinvent law-enforcement and their communities to achieve policing that is effective, respectful, restrained and, above all safe for the public and the police. Learn more at ele4a.org
