Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic: 'What Police Learned from One of the Most Challenging Periods of Our Lives'
From the Executive Summary: "This report summarizes PERF's [Police Executive Research Forum's] findings from nearly 120 'Daily COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] Reports' produced between March 17, 2020 and March 16, 2021, along with additional research into how police departments and sheriffs' offices responded to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020-21. The purpose of the report is not primarily historical. Rather, the report is intended to provide law enforcement agencies with continuing guidance on how to manage their response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to other public health emergencies in the future. [...] Throughout the pandemic, communities nationwide continued to look to their police agencies for guidance and assistance. Police agencies and sheriffs' offices worked to respond to these public health needs. At the same time, police had to modify their own daily work protocols in many ways to protect their personnel from the threat of COVID-19 infection. Because most police officers work out on the streets, in close contact with the public, they were at high risk of becoming infected. 'Police and sheriffs' departments proved to be resilient, changing many of their systems and operations almost overnight in the early days of the pandemic, and continuing to adapt for a year or more as conditions changed.' This report summarizes the ways in which police agencies responded to the pandemic, and is intended to help agencies plan for potential future public health crises."

Rethinking the Police Response to Mass Demonstrations: '9 Recommendations'
From the Document: "Police agencies' management of protests and demonstrations is not a new issue. PERF [Police Executive Research Forum] produced major reports on this topic in 2006, 2011, and 2018 (see pp. 15-17). And yet, the demonstrations of 2020 required PERF to throw out those playbooks and realize that we had to look at demonstrations very differently. 'Police simply did not expect and were not prepared for the level and extent of violence they encountered. It was unlike anything they had seen in 20 years.' Police actually faced three major crises in 2020: 'Crisis 1:' The COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] pandemic, 'Crisis 2:' Thousands of demonstrations following the murder of George Floyd, and 'Crisis 3:' A spike in homicides and shootings. 'This report is mainly about Crisis 2, demonstrations. But I want to briefly discuss all three crises, because each one posed difficult, sometimes unprecedented challenges to law enforcement agencies, and the three crises compounded each other, creating a synergy that made all of the problems worse.' [...] This report is about the second crisis described above: the demonstrations that continued through the summer and into the fall of 2020, and the unprecedented violence that occurred in many cities. This report provides 35 recommendations for actions that law enforcement agencies can take to improve their planning for, and response to, demonstrations in their communities."
