Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

• To build and maintain a new, state-of-the-art Police Academy which will be utilized as an academic and training institution that will address issues related to community policing and best practices in the area of criminal justice.
• To provide equipment and/or training to assist the Nassau County Police Department with resources not available from the normal budgetary revenue streams.
• To support programs that advance the relationship between the Nassau County Police Department and academic and other institutes addressing or capable of addressing issues relating to policing.
• To assist the department with addressing specific matters of concern, including expert changes, issues of training, best practices in law enforcement, and outreach programs.
• Allow the Nassau County Police Department to take advantage of rapidly emerging opportunities relating to training, equipment, or research that would further the department's effectiveness or professionalism.

We reach out to members of the Nassau County community to garner support for the local police department.

We have the ability to expand our programs and support to a wide-ranging list of activities and needs of the NCPD depending on our giving base.

In the past four years we have raised money for our capital project, as well as monies needed for equipment purchases and managed to support 3 major community programs.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
