8 CAN’T WAIT DOCUMENT AND USE OF FORCE:

In response to the recent public outcry for police reform, the “8 Can’t Wait” movement was created, identifying eight things that the police can do immediately to reduce violence.  As residents of the community, you should be pleased to know that these eight items are protocols that have been in place at the Nether Providence Police Department for more than five years, and are not a knee jerk reaction to recent problems that have occurred across the country. 

The Nether Providence Police Department has been, and will continue to be a professional police agency providing the highest level of public safety to the community.
