Abstract:
In recent years, law enforcement agencies have come under severe criticism for officer misconduct and mistakes. As a result, changes have been imposed upon these agencies from outside of law enforcement. These changes include mandated policies, budget allocations, and in extreme cases, consent decrees. A national model launched in 2020, the Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement (ABLE) Project seeks to give agencies the tools they need to create culture change internally by embracing officer peer intervention as a tool to prevent misconduct, avoid mistakes, and promote health and wellness. This article describes the following regarding ABLE: (a) history and program development timeline, (b) programmatic structure and objectives, and (c) an examination of ABLE's potential to help law enforcement agencies create meaningful, positive culture change to improve public health and safety using active bystandership.
