Built by Law Enforcement.
Built for Public Safety.

The Coalition for Public Safety & Law Enforcement is a national organization bringing together law enforcement professionals, prosecutors, and public-safety leaders to take on the issues shaping the future of public safety in America.

From emerging technology to prosecutorial accountability, CPSLE brings the experience of the people working inside the criminal justice system to the decisions that affect the communities they serve.

The People Doing the Job Should Have a Voice.

Every day, decisions are made about policing, prosecution, technology, criminal justice, and public safety.

Too often, the people expected to carry out those decisions are brought into the conversation after the decisions have already been made.

CPSLE is built around law enforcement professionals and prosecutors who understand these issues because they confront them every day.

Dedicated Centers.
Focused Missions.

CPSLE takes on major issues affecting law enforcement, prosecutors, and the communities they serve through dedicated national Centers. Each Center brings together law enforcement, prosecutors, research, advocacy, and strategic partnerships to take on a specific public-safety challenge.

A National Network.
Real Experience.

CPSLE is built around people working inside America's criminal justice system.

Our network includes law enforcement professionals serving communities across the country and relationships with prosecutors who see firsthand what happens inside courtrooms, investigative units, police departments, sheriff's offices, and communities every day.

That gives CPSLE something that cannot be manufactured in a Washington conference room:

Real-world experience.

When CPSLE enters a public-policy debate, we aren't guessing about how a proposal might affect law enforcement. We can ask the people who will actually have to make it work.

Where Policy Meets Reality.

Technology companies are building tools that will change policing.

Legislatures are writing laws that officers and prosecutors will have to implement.

Prosecutors are making decisions that determine what happens after an arrest.

Government agencies are establishing rules that can reshape public safety.

Those decisions don't stay on paper.
They end up on the street.

We Aren't Building a Think Tank.

We're Building a Force.

A national organization built around the men and women who protect our communities, enforce our laws, investigate crimes, prosecute offenders, and live every day with the consequences of America's public-safety decisions.
