NEW Police Violence Response Checklist
This practical checklist guides individuals and families through the critical steps to take following an incident of police violence. It explains how to prioritize safety, seek medical attention, preserve evidence, document what occurred, identify witnesses, protect legal rights, and contact appropriate legal and community-support resources. It also recognizes the emotional and traumatic impact of police violence and encourages affected families to seek trusted mental-health, spiritual, and community care.
The checklist is intended to help families stay organized, make informed decisions, and protect important information while pursuing accountability, healing, and justice.
