Afro-American Patrolmen’s League

The Afro-American Patrolmen’s League, now known as the African American Police League, was established in 1968 after Chicago police officer Edward “Buzz” Palmer witnessed the effects of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s “shoot to kill” order brought on by Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination and the increase of black uprisings that followed his death. Safety of black leaders and citizens from white reactionaries quickly became a pressing issue. Palmer put together a small group of people, consisting of Renault “Reggie” Robinson, Curtis Cowsen, Willie Ware, Wilbur Crooks, Jack Dubonnet, Tom Mitchell, and himself, to become the Afro-American Patrolmen’s League; the group, with the exception of Mitchell, was made up of police officers and was committed to defending and protecting the people in their local black communities.〔
== Purpose ==

One major goal of the AAPL was to improve the relationship between black communities and law enforcement personnel. To accomplish this, the organization decided to work on three key points: to work hand-in-hand with the community to resolve issues, to take steps to change the poor image they portray to the community, and to create a symbiotic relationship between law enforcement and the community. Another significant goal of the AAPL was to work to protect black offenders from receiving unjust punishment and conduct by police. According to an article in the Chicago Defender, “()hey hope to teach their white counterparts that respect for the black community is essential in enforcing the law, and they hope to teach the black policemen that as a symbol of authority he has a greater responsibility to his brother”.〔“Black Police League Has Tough Job Ahead.” Sheryl Fitzgerald. Chicago Daily Defender (Big Weekend Edition). (1966-1973). Sep 14, 1968. ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Chicago Defender (1910-1975). pg. 1.〕 Thirdly, it was a goal of the organization to increase the number of African Americans in law enforcement. The League sought support by creating and advertising the slogan “We support the black community” and by reaching out to more powerful organizations, like the Garfield Organization led by Frederick Douglass. The League also received grants from the Ford Foundation that allowed the members to pay for organization development training classes. This newfound organization was highly respected by many.〔"African American Police League." African American Police League. N.p., n.d. Web. 15 Apr. 2013. .〕
