TOOLKIT
The Prosecutor’s Role in Addressing Officer-Involved Fatalities
The IIP's Toolkit on Officer-Involved Fatalities and Critical Incidents addresses action that prosecutors can take, and communities can advocate for in the event of a critical incident. The Toolkit was informed by a year-long Working Group led by those who lost loved ones to police violence; prosecutors; and law enforcement experts. The Toolkit identifies ways to harness the power of the prosecutor to prevent use-of-force, and to provide a path to accountability for unjustified force.
