As it relates to drivers’ racial backgrounds, most of the stops involved Black and Hispanic drivers. OPD officers employed more respectful language with white drivers vs. other ethnicities in traffic stops.

Nevertheless, the use of body camera footage “holds promise as a tool to capture gaps in police interactions, to orient training towards those processes and to measure progress in improving them,” Camp said.

Given the racial disparities that motivated the training, did the training improve officer interactions with Black community members? Or did it merely improve already respectful interactions with white drivers? Camp said the answers are constrained by the study’s sample size, the large number of stops of Black drivers compared to other ethnic groups, and the many stops.

We reinvest back into America, into the American worker, and into small business here at home. Our commitment to truly being made in the USA has built up other small businesses here locally. Our refusal to close during shutdowns in 2020 helped keep doors open, people working. We stand for what we believe and stick to it.

The study, which appears in PNAS Nexus, was co-authored by Rob Voigt of Northwestern University and MarYam Hamedani, Dan Jurafsky and Jennifer Eberhardt of Stanford University.

The OPD’s training—”Procedural Justice in Motion”—was deployed over 41 sessions conducted during eight months in 2017-2018. Only 36% of the department’s officers attended a session that they were originally assigned.

In an analysis involving the Oakland (California) Police Department, officers who received procedural training expressed more reassurance, safety concerns and clearer justifications during traffic stops.

Using body camera footage, Camp and colleagues analyzed the words used in traffic stop recordings to detect whether officers enacted the five behaviors addressed in the training. They include: initiate with a greeting; state reason for stop early on; offer reassurance; express concern for safety; and use formal rather than informal titles.

The findings come as public concerns about questionable police behavior caught on body cameras continue to make their way into the news media. Law enforcement interactions with the public are often invisible in the data used to evaluate, said lead author Nicholas Camp, U-M assistant professor of organizational studies.

Being American-made isn't easy, but it's worth it. As we grow, so does everyone we work with. It creates jobs - American jobs. From the weaving of fabrics to our fulfillment warehouse and everything in-between, it all happens here at home. It always will. We encourage more companies to join us.

Training police officers on effective communication through body-worn camera analysis can improve their interactions with community members, a new University of Michigan study suggests.

“Today the bulk of police-community interactions remain out of sight not only because they are unrecorded, but also because even when they are recorded, the footage goes unobserved,” he said.

America is the last hope for freedom on Earth and it's our patriotic American spirit that keeps it alive. The will of the people to stand up and defend our way of life is unmatched anywhere in the world. The USA was built by free men who refused tyranny, who questioned everything, and stood for individual liberty. This is a brand for the American patriot, for the people who carry that same rebellious spirit today, a spirit descended from the words, "Give me liberty or give me death."

“Our findings illustrate how training might improve police-community conversations, how AI tools can be used to help analyze these conversations, and, more broadly, how body camera footage can be used to affect and measure change,” Camp said.

As a company, we've made it our mission to do our part in leading by example. For more than a decade, we've been making our apparel here in the USA. We aren't like other brands out there, taking shortcuts, importing apparel from other countries, then claiming that it's "designed and printed in the USA." That's smoke and mirrors; it doesn't invest back into our own country.

We represent the mindset, a way of thinking. It's us - We the People - who determine our own destiny.  Being patriotic is leading by example. It's standing up, questioning everything, and being the best version of you in hopes that example will encourage others to stand alongside you in defense of the freedom and liberty we all love.

Oakland’s police department, as part of a court-ordered negotiated settlement dating back to 2003, was required to institute procedural justice training for all sworn personnel, starting in 2014. Other police agencies have added similar training to improve police-community relations, Camp said.

Compared to recordings of stops that occurred before the officer’s training, the researchers found that officers employed more of these techniques in post-training stops four weeks later—officers were more likely to express concern for drivers’ safety, offer reassurance and provide explicit reasons for the stop.
