OBJECTIVES
    To be an advocate for injustice and to establish an outreach and networking effort with family members that have experienced police brutality.

​ 

​ABOUT US
The mission and purpose of The National Center for Police Accountability is to increase public awareness of these injustices. 
The National Center for Police Accountability was created following the murder of Andre Jones, in the Simpson County Jail, Mendenhall, Mississippi, despite claims of local officials that he committed suicide on August  22, 1992.
Since 1987, persons under detention in Mississippi jails have increasingly been discovered dead by hanging in their cells.  There were at least 48 incidents reported between 1987 and 1992.  In 25 of those 48 instances (52%), the corpses were African-American men.  In each and every case, Mississippi state authorities have said that these men committed “suicide by hanging”.
After a decade hearing horror stories like Andre's, the Muhammad's heeded the call to build a national organization to bring awareness to the nationwide problem of racial profiling, police brutality, and jail lynchings.

GOALS

    To organize a coalition of support from various organizations and individuals within the community structure to address issues of human rights violations.
