If you are interested in police accountability and want to get involved in current community action, consider joining the Spring 2024 Copwatch Decal!



This class will be facilitated using lectures and guided class discussions by invited guest speakers and student facilitators. There are opportunities for direct field monitoring of police on duty. Students will learn about the issues faced by residents that racial profiling, civil, and human rights abuses bring to the community. Students will be trained in basic criminal procedure, power analysis, and techniques for observing police activity. In addition, students will examine the history and origins of police, resistance movements, and community-based alternatives to the justice system as we know it. Finally, in this course, students will have the opportunity to have a role in the community beyond the DeCal, researching topics that are current and relevant to the larger community.

I recently participated in a community accountability program and found it incredibly eye-opening. Learning about the complex dynamics between law enforcement and residents gave me a deeper understanding of the importance of transparency and active civic engagement. The hands-on experience of observing real situations helped me see the challenges both sides face, and it inspired me to stay informed and involved. After such intense learning, I often unwind with light-hearted activities, and one entertainment suggestion I’d recommend is playing Block Blast - it’s a fun way to relax while still keeping your mind engaged.

Beyond its gameplay, the Dinosaur Game has become a symbol of patience and perseverance. It teaches players to keep going, jump by jump—even when the path gets harder.
