Ethical Society of Police
The Ethical Society of Police (ESOP), founded in 1972 by African American police officers, aims to address race-based discrimination and enhance accountability and professionalism within law enforcement. The organization advocates for equitable reforms in police departments, striving to cultivate strong police-community relations and increase diversity among officers.
ESOP works both locally and nationally to ensure that police departments are representative of the communities they serve, providing an honest perspective at the intersection of race and law enforcement. Through initiatives like the First Responder Health and Wellness Retreat, ESOP emphasizes the importance of mental health and support for officers while championing fairness, integrity, community, respect, and equality.
