Intervention Program. The ABLE Project builds upon EPIC and Dr. Staub’s prior work to develop and deliver practical, scenario-based training for police agencies in the strategies and tactics of police peer intervention.
The ABLE Project provides training to law enforcement officers and guides agencies and communities on the concrete measures that must be in place to create and sustain a culture of peer intervention. The ABLE Project also provides a wide array of resources to communities and law enforcement agencies across the country interested in bringing a peer intervention program to their area.
To date, we have welcomed more than 165 law enforcement agencies into the ABLE Project and have trained more than 900 officers as ABLE instructors. These instructors will go back to their agencies to train some 110,000 officers in the science and tactics of active bystandership. Those officers then will be better equipped to provide better, safer, and fairer policing to some 65 million community members. And our numbers grow every day.
We are excited you are joining us to learn more about ABLE and to meet each other. Thank you for participating.
