Sanctity Project

At a time when technology permits us to explore Mars, cure diseases, deploy self-driving automobiles; tech that is capable of constructing robots that can moon-walk - you would think that we would employ less harmful ways for law enforcement to interact with the citizens. After all, It is the citizen who pays taxes and supports their government. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Citizens across the developed and undeveloped world - are subjected to traumatizing, injurious, and deadly treatment at the hands of law enforcement. We believe that a vast majority of injury and death by law enforcement -  is unnecessary and unproductive.  That is why NoCitizenLeftBehind is organizing this global project.   Ultimately, the Santity Project will serve as an authoritative policy institute, and a research institute, benefitting from partner organizations around the world.  

The Sanctity Project is a global think tank; a global information clearinghouse, made up of many organizations with the same goal:

 ...to study and promote the most healthy and constructive methods for law enforcement organizations to interact with citizens - with the goal of protecting and preserving life.

The Sanctity Project will define a framework for testing and evaluating innovative approaches to minimizing force and injury to persons, and promote best practices in the way police interact with citizens in all settings and circumstances, so that law enforcement organizations can adopt policies based on scientific research, and enable the sharing of the results of research.  

From the use of painful methods like handcuffs, non-lethal rounds, pepper spray, and tasers, sedatives, to the use of police dogs, drones, facial recognition cameras, and aircraft - we intend to be the most authoritative source for information on how to best handle contact with citizens. The goal is not to vilify law enforcement or reduce their safety, but to give law enforcement tools that can help them do their jobs using minimal force, and make the interaction better for persons that they engage with. The Sanctity Project will curate, collect, and publish data that demonstrates the least effective and the most effective measures to employ in the field, and try to also provide information on the impact of specific methods on the lives of all involved - from those who are detained by law enforcement, to victims, witnesses and the friends and relatives of the same.
