On Thursday, June 6th the BWCTTA team hosted a “Drivers of BWC Policy Change” webinar. This webinar focused on the policy changes among BWCPIP grantees over time and the reasons for those policy changes. Dr. Michael White, BWCTTA co-director, facilitated the discussion with representatives from two municipality police departments (Seattle, WA; Dallas, TX) and the Washington, D.C. Department of Corrections on how they have navigated policy changes, drivers and frequency.
Dr. White presented on results from a content analysis of 160 BWCPIP grantees' policies, comparing their original BWC policies with their most recent versions. Surveys were also sent to these agencies to understand what motivated changes seen within their policies.
