Advocating for Police Accountability and Transparency in Howard County
The Police Accountability Task Force of Howard County (PATF-HoCo) is a group of community activists who are all long-term residents of the county. We organized in the Summer of 2020, following the murder of George Floyd, to take action within Howard County to promote accountability and transparency in policing.
Our Priorities
01
Annual Data Reporting
A legal requirement for annual reporting of data related to officer engagements with the public, including racial demographics.
02
Racial Disparities Analysis
An independent assessment of the causes for the significant racial disparities in Howard County law enforcement engagements.
See our analysis of Howard County Law Enforcement Agency data
03
Police Accountability Board
A more proactive and effective Police Accountability Board.
Our Coalition Partners
