    Adoption of Shared Principles by

    Riverside Police Department


    WHEREAS, on March 22, 2018, the NAACP Illinois State Conference and the Illinois Association of Chiefs of
    Police agreed to 10 Shared Principles designed to build trust between law enforcement and communities of
    color, and
    WHEREAS, the two statewide associations vowed “by mutual affirmation to work together and stand together in
    our communities and at the state level to implement these values and principles, and to replace mistrust with
    mutual trust wherever, whenever, and however we can,”

    NOW BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the Riverside, Illinois, Police Department adopts these same Ten
    Shared Principles as their own, and thereby adds its name to the historic agreement between the Illinois NAACP
    and the ILACP. These are the Ten Shared Principles:

    1. We value the life of every person and consider life to be the highest value.

    2. All persons should be treated with dignity and respect. This is another foundational value.

    3. We reject discrimination toward any person that is based on race, ethnicity, religion, color, nationality,
    immigrant status, sexual orientation, gender, disability, or familial status.

    4. We endorse the six pillars in the report of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. The first pillar
    is to build and rebuild trust through procedural justice, transparency, accountability, and honest recognition
    of past and present obstacles.

    5. We endorse the four pillars of procedural justice, which are fairness, voice (i.e., an opportunity for citizens
    and police to believe they are heard), transparency, and impartiality.

    6. We endorse the values inherent in community policing, which includes community partnerships involving law
    enforcement, engagement of police officers with residents outside of interaction specific to enforcement of
    laws, and problem-solving that is collaborative, not one-sided.

    7. We believe that developing strong ongoing relationships between law enforcement and communities of color
    at the leadership level and street level will be the keys to diminishing and eliminating racial tension.

    8. We believe that law enforcement and community leaders have a mutual responsibility to encourage all
    citizens to gain a better understanding and knowledge of the law to assist them in their interactions with law
    enforcement officers.

    9. We support diversity in police departments and in the law enforcement profession. Law enforcement and
    communities have a mutual responsibility and should work together to make a concerted effort to recruit
    diverse police departments.

    10. We believe de-escalation training should be required to ensure the safety of community members and
    officers. We endorse using de-escalation tactics to reduce the potential for confrontations that endanger law
    enforcement officers and community members; and the principle that human life should be taken only as a
    last resort.
