Don't Miss Commissioner Bill Bratton At Annual!

Posted: May 31, 2018

CACP's keynote speaker at the awards dinner will be Police Commissioner, Bill Bratton. One awards dinner ticket is included with Annual Conference registration. If you would like to purchase additional tickets, click here.

Bratton began his police career at the Boston Police Department before becoming Police Commissioner in New York City, where his quality-of-life policy has been credited with reducing petty and violent crime. He was recruited to lead the Los Angeles Police Department in 2002 at a time when the LAPD was struggling to rebuild trust after the 1992 Los Angeles Riots and Rampart scandal, and presided over an era of reform and crime reduction. Bratton has served as an advisor on policing in several roles, including advising the British government. In January 2014, Bratton returned to the post of Police Commissioner in New York City, and served until September 2016.

Bratton's policing style is influenced by the broken windows theory, a criminological theory of the norm-setting and signalling effect of urban disorder and vandalism on additional crime and anti-social behavior. He advocates having an ethnically diverse police force representative of the population, maintaining a strong relationship with the law-abiding population, tackling police corruption, being tough on gangs and having a strict no-tolerance of anti-social behavior.
