Job Overview
Georgetown Law's Center for Innovations in Community Safety (CICS) seeks a Director of Law Enforcement Initiatives to lead its work to strengthen systems of police accountability, reduce unnecessary racial disparities in policing, and reinforce law enforcement agencies' capacity to protect democratic principles in the United States.

The Director will be responsible for developing and executing a long-term vision for the continued growth and impact of ABLE and the ABLE Leadership Institute. The Director will also lead other CICS ongoing efforts related to democratic policing, reform, protection of civil rights and law enforcement accountability, and develop similar new initiatives. This role includes both high-level strategic development and hands-on project management.
The Director will work closely with the Director of Community Safety Initiatives and the Executive Director to develop and advance CICS's agenda to transform the nation's public safety infrastructure to focus more on prevention and early intervention, protect civil rights, and reduce the size and scope of the nation's carceral system.
