Anthropologists are currently engaged in the problems of policing and racism in a variety of ways, some with police and others with communities most impacted by intensive policing. Their roles have ranged from cultural expert, research consultant, acute observer of the everyday, and as critical analysts of language and policy. Invoking these roles, this panel engages with current police reform efforts to include a) technological innovations, b) changes in laws and rules about police stops, summonses, use of force, decriminalizing cannabis, and accountability, c) training in areas such as implicit bias, cultural awareness and community engagement, and d) coordination with other agencies and experts when responding to youth, family or mental health problems. They ask, But does this burst of reform across the country amount to a significant shift in policing or is largely a scramble to keep the current system in place?
