BRPD Alignment
- Procedural justice is embedded in our culture, beginning with BRPD’s Academy Curriculum Academy Course Schedule.
- BRPD’s policy on Bias-Based Policing (General Order 108) General-Order-108-Bias-Based-Profiling fundamentally supports BRPD’s aim to earn public trust.
- BRPD recognizes that previous and present injustice and discrimination are barriers to building community trust. BRPD develops and executes community outreach, youth engagement, and crime prevention among its services.
- At the core of BRPD’s mission is our pledge “to serve with the Baton Rouge community to prevent crime and to promote the safety and well-being of all.” General Order 106 Mission Values
- BRPD’s commitment to justice and integrity is at the heart of our Code of Ethics and the sworn oath each officer takes upon graduation from the Academy:
- To accomplish our mission and meet the standards of 21st Policing, we are committed to policies, protocols, decision-making, and expectations that comply with the Core Principles of Procedural Justice. These include:
- Treating Citizens with Dignity and Respect
- Display Trustworthy Motives
- Making Unbiased Decision
- Giving Citizens an Opportunity To Express their views
