ROLC, in collaboration with Met Congregations United in St. Louis, is launching an ambitious effort to investigate the underlying issues perpetuating the deep chasm between African-American communities and law enforcement, in order to identify the most effective solutions. This empirically rigorous, community-based participatory research effort will inform the reform efforts of leaders on both sides of the police-community divide.  ROLC seeks to expand this effort to other U.S. cities.
