Common use of Interactions with Community Members Clause in Contracts

Interactions with Community Members. The Parties recognize that interactions between police officers and the public are an important component of providing public safety that is consistent with community values. MPD will require that officers treat all persons with respect and dignity, in a professional and procedurally just manner to enhance communication and promote trust and understanding. These interactions will underscore MPD’s commitment to policing consistent with community priorities and will also help officers build relationships with community members that will support MPD and community members in working together to promote public safety. MPD will require that an officer’s failure to engage with the public consistent with these guiding principles may subject the officer to discipline.
