Policing
CAJ works to ensure that policing structures, policies, practices, and conduct in Northern Ireland conform to best practice and internationally recognised human rights standards.
We do this by:
Researching areas of concern (e.g. use of Tasers, operation of stop and search powers).
Responding to relevant policing consultations.
Producing and disseminating research findings and policy recommendations.
Monitoring the operation of policing institutions, in relation to human rights compliance and implementation of Patten recommendations.
Engaging with the PSNI, policing oversight and accountability mechanisms and other key stakeholders.
Lobbying at local, regional and international level.
