On Friday, December 9, 2016 the National Council on Disability (NCD) and United Cerebral Palsy facilitated a conversation on policing reform and the disability community to gather information and resources to inform NCD’s 2017 policy project on how to transform the policies and practices related to engagement with First Responders. This conversation included experts in criminal justice reform, disability rights advocates, policymakers, law enforcement organizations, and individuals personally impacted by state violence.

UCP and NCD worked together, with assistance from the Motorola Foundation, to convene this discussion.
