Rose City Copwatch engages in weekly neighborhood Copwatching patrols. These patrols are organized community efforts to directly observe police stops, searches, and arrests. The patrols aim to reduce police violence and misconduct by their presence, and to demonstrate the community's right and ability to hold police directly accountable for their actions.
We're offering this workshop so you can learn your rights when dealing with cops, and teach skills for safely observing the police. learn what police can and can not do, and never let them fuck with you again.
Learn to Copwatch. Learn your rights. Take the power back.
