Kenyen Brown on Preventing DOJ Intervention Through High Policing Standards

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest running podcast in compliance. In this special edition of the FCPA Compliance Report, welcome back fan favorite Kenyen Brown, now at his new firm, Thompson Coburn LLP. Kenyen Brown joins Tom Fox to discuss his experience reviewing the Mobile AL Police Department use of force on behalf of his client, the City of Mobile. Kenyen Brown is a renowned legal expert with a wealth of experience in investigations and legal work concerning constitutional standards in the use of force. His perspective on this topic is heavily influenced by his extensive background in various roles, such as US Attorney and counsel for Senate and House ethics committees, which has allowed him to deeply understand the intricacies of law enforcement and constitutional standards. Brown firmly believes that police departments ought to adopt proactive measures, including independent third-party oversight, to align their practices with constitutional standards, particularly in the utilization of force. His experiences, notably his review of the Mobile Police Department’s use of force incidents, have led him to advocate for proactive, independent oversight to improve community relations and prevent deadly force incidents. He underscores the necessity of reevaluating and enhancing general orders, principles, and training to ensure law enforcement officers’ compliance with constitutional standards, thereby reducing the likelihood of deadly force incidents and potential civil rights violations.  Highlights in this Episode: Preventing DOJ Intervention Through High Policing Standards Community-Led Oversight: Enhancing Police Department Practices Constitutional Standards for Use of Force Public Involvement in Police Accountability and Transparency Controversial Police Practice: No-Knock Raids Resources : Kenyen Brown on LinkedIn Thompson Coburn LLP Tom Fox Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn For more information on the Ethico ROI Calculator and a free White Paper on the ROI of Compliance, click here.
