National Policing Institute

Research and evaluation: npi conducts experimental and practical research in policing strategies and crime reduction approaches that address gun violence, reduce the need for force, build trust and mutual support between communities and officers, and that improve officer safety and well-functioning organizations that serve the community effectively. Npi's work also focuses on crime causation and specific emphasis on organizational, operation, technological, and administrative analyses; assessments of responses to crime and disorder; community surveys; and research on evidence based approaches.

Communications and outreach: npi is an objective, nonpartisan resource for the media, the police, and the communities they serve. Npi utilizes a variety of communications and outreach strategies to promote science based reforms, the importance of evidence based crime reduction and response, and a fair and equitable justice system. This includes the dissemination of research and program evaluation data, policing and public safety data, critical incident reporting, and other information shared through our blogs, social media, webinars, livestreams, print and digital publications, and more.
