White Supremacists in Policing

Since 2019, the Lawyers’ Committee has been helping communities raise the alarm concerning white supremacists in policing. Examples of our recent work smoking out white supremacists in policing includes:

  • Raising the alarm about a Connecticut officer affiliated with the Proud Boys in 2019.
  • Calling for disciplinary action concerning Wilmington, NC officers caught on tape making explicitly racist remarks in 2020.
  • Supporting community advocates in 2021 concerned about a Williamstown, MA officer who displayed a poster of Hitler in his work office
  • Calling for an investigation into a Fresno, CA officer with ties to Proud Boys in 2021
  • Pushing municipal officials to take action concerning a Chicago, IL officer who helped arrange Proud Boy meetups
