 | The National Summit on Empowering Communities to Prevent Violent Extremism report documents the proceedings of the summit, which was co-hosted by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) and National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Reponses to Terrorism (START). The summit convened more than 50 participants from multiple disciplines engaged in community engagement efforts from federal, state, local, international, and nongovernmental entities. Over the course of the two-day summit, these participants described their community engagement efforts with a focus on lessons learned, best practices, and challenges. The report provides recommendations for law enforcement, other government agencies, and communities on improving community engagement, trust building, prevention, and intervention programming regarding those individuals at risk for engaging in violent extremism. The recommendations ultimately seek to help strengthen family, community, and institutional defenses that will mitigate the risks for violent extremism.By Stevan Weine, William BraniffCategories: Community Partnerships • TechnologyLanguage: EnglishPublic link
