Fact check: What other social justice movements have established formal partnerships with police departments?

Checked on June 13, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the provided analyses, there is no direct information available about social justice movements establishing formal partnerships with police departments. None of the sources contain specific examples or cases of such partnerships [1] [2] [3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

While the original question focuses on formal partnerships, the sources reveal several important related contexts:

  • There is ongoing tension between social justice activism and police institutions, particularly regarding police violence and racial justice issues [1]
  • Research from Israel demonstrates how social media platforms have become spaces for critical discussion of police conduct, as evidenced by the Roman Zadorov case study [2]
  • There are existing challenges in police-community relations that need addressing, with a particular emphasis on the need for improved transparency [3]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The question itself contains some problematic assumptions:

  • It presumes that formal partnerships between social justice movements and police departments are common or existing, which isn't supported by the available evidence
  • It oversimplifies the complex relationship between social justice movements and law enforcement
  • The question might benefit certain stakeholders:
  • Police departments seeking to demonstrate community engagement
  • Politicians looking to show progress in police-community relations
  • Organizations wanting to appear more moderate in their approach to reform

The available sources suggest that the relationship between social justice movements and police departments is more commonly characterized by advocacy for reform and accountability rather than formal partnerships [1] [3].
