The National Police Accountability Project (NPAP), a project of the National Lawyers Guild, was founded with the intent of helping to end police abuse of authority and to provide support for grassroots and victims' organizations combating police misconduct. NPAP is an organization of plaintiffs attorneys and legal workers who work on police misconduct cases.
National Police Accountability Project (NPAP) is a 501(c)(3) organization and a project of the National Lawyers Guild, which was founded in 1937 as the first racially integrated national bar association. In 1999, NPAP was created as a non-profit to protect the human and civil rights of individuals in their encounters with law enforcement and detention facility personnel. The central mission of NPAP is to promote the accountability of law enforcement officers and their employers for violations of the Constitution and the laws of the United States.
With over 500 members and growing, we continue to effect change in the flawed legal system and fight to put an end to police brutality of all forms. NPAP does not provide legal representation to victims of law enforcement misconduct.
