Addressing Systemic Racism
Systemic racism — and systemic bias — are fundamentally wrong, unjust and at odds with effective governance and the overall soundness of a local economy. In other words, it is against everything that we stand for and that our clients should stand for. But it is not enough to just acknowledge the problem. In our role as trusted advisors to state and local government, we are obligated to act. We have already done so. And we are committed to doing more.
Budgeting In Uncertain Times
Prior to COVID-19, criminal justice and public safety best practices focused on both increasing justice and safety, and reducing costs. As local governments face unprecedented fiscal challenges from the pandemic, what were previously considered best practices are now imperative practices for many jurisdictions. Watch our recent roundtable discussion, where practitioners and our experts provide a high-level framework to begin confronting the significant and evolving challenges around budget, criminal justice, and public safety during the most uncertain times.
