Mission

The National Police Accountability Project (NPAP) is one of the few national organizations that focuses solely on ending law enforcement overreach and abuse of power. We approach the problem of policing from all sides, using litigation, legislative advocacy and community-based solutions to achieve policy and system reform knowing we need all these tools to achieve transformative change. NPAP’s network of 500+ civil rights attorney members brings thousands of lawsuits against police departments, jails and prisons across the country. This vast and deep knowledge of and investigation into policing culture has made the organization an expert in policing and effective police reform.

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Despite the 2020 national uprisings calling for police accountability, more people were killed by police in 2023 than in any other year in the past decade. Police officers kill an average of 3 people a day in the U.S. – disproportionately people of color. In addition to killing, police brutalize, injure and harass hundreds of people every minute in America. And often absolutely nothing is done to stop them. NPAP works to transform the future of policing while at the same time protecting and supporting those who are devastated by police violence today. NPAP works to complement and uplift community-led efforts in places hostile to reform by demanding accountability for law enforcement abuses through litigation. Lawsuits can be a tool both to help heal and empower individuals after they have been violated by the police – and a means to mandate change to policing practices and policies.

Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Training and supporting civil rights attorneys

Only 1% of people who believe their rights have been violated by the police ever file a lawsuit. Most people who have been harmed by the police can’t find a lawyer to take their case. NPAP works to grow the number of attorneys – particularly BIPOC attorneys – who are equipped to take police misconduct cases, particularly in the Midwest, the South and rural jurisdictions where there are often just a handful of attorneys taking these cases.

Through training, support, mentorship, partnering with new attorneys on cases and outreach to law students, we are giving attorneys support on the front end of their careers which is a huge investment in the legal services that will be available to their communities for decades to come.

In addition, NPAP supports experienced attorneys through ongoing training and a community network to share resources, advice, experience and strategies. Training and supporting attorneys both helps victims now AND is an investment in a better future.

Supporting community groups advocating for police reform

Many smaller grassroots groups don’t have dedicated policy or legal staff. Given NPAP’s expertise in policing and our first-hand experience with successful models of reform nationwide, NPAP is looked to as a source of expertise, advice, and support by other movement groups and community-based coalitions as they consider alternatives for their communities. NPAP works to complement and uplift community-led efforts in places hostile to reform by demanding accountability for law enforcement abuses through litigation. Just filing a lawsuit can put pressure on cities and police departments to take the demands of the community seriously.

Advocating for victims of police violence and their families

NPAP works to transform the future of policing while at the same time protecting and supporting those who are devastated by it today. NPAP partners with other attorneys to represent victims of police violence and their families. Lawsuits can be a tool both to help heal and empower individuals after they have been violated by the police – and a means to mandate change to policing practices and policies.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
