Communities United for Police Reform (CPR) is a New York-based campaign focused on ending discriminatory policing practices. It brings together community members, lawyers, researchers, and activists from across all five boroughs to pursue reforms that aim to enhance community safety while ensuring that the NYPD serves all New Yorkers. The organization operates within the civic and social sectors, presenting itself as a coalition driven by those most affected by policing practices. Its work centers on advocating for policy changes and accountability within law enforcement through a broad, multi-stakeholder coalition. In addition to its organizing efforts, CPR has produced initiatives such as a budget report that critiques proposed city spending and outlines priorities for safer, more vibrant communities. Based in New York City, CPR is a small nonprofit entity with a mission to reform policing within its local context.
