What To Do When Stopped By The Police

CLICK HERE to download a printable brochure explaining your rights when stopped by the police.

It is important that you understand how to handle police interactions.

Citizen interaction with law enforcement, particularly in communities of color, can often be a traumatic experience. However, being fully aware of your rights when you are stopped will help you from becoming a "police statistic."

You should know what police officers CAN AND CANNOT DO when they stop your car, confront you on the street, or come knocking at the door of your home.


Our Mission

To ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination.
