Key Points: 
  • The protests, amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic, have left uncertainty on what defunding the police or other areas of police reform would look like and few answers on next steps from federal or local governments.
  • Rene Mitchell, PhD, senior policing researcher at RTI International (RTI), a nonprofit research institute, was a 22-year member of the Sacramento Police Department and can speak to implementing evidence-based policing strategies throughout the U.S.
    Dr. Mitchell recently spoke to CNN on-air about facing the realities of racism and unconscious bias in policing.
  • She explained that police reform should stem from top-down leadership within departments and be based on managing what officers are doing in the field at an aggregate level, rather than only monitoring crime fluctuations.
  • Unconscious bias only appears in aggregate data and thus should be addressed through evidence-based managerial practices by empowering officers to make decisions at their discretion while simultaneously incorporating additional management and guidance.

  • Silverman commented further: European performance bond frameworks do preserve government authorities hiring discretion, but sometimes at the cost of having to reorganise problematic contracts with original terms that were unsustainable and may have failed to pass a performance bond filter.
  • Whats important is that performance bond regimes do not just reflect history and should support recognised priorities across policy objectives.
