How police and the public can create safer neighborhoods together | Tracie Keesee

Prevodilac: Darija Stojanović Lektor: Ivana Krivokuća

You know, my friends, I look at this photograph

Prijatelji, posmatram ovu fotografiju

and I have to ask myself,

i ne mogu da se ne zapitam

you know, I think I've seen this somewhere before.

nisam li negde već videla ovo.

People marching in the street for justice.

Ljudi na ulicama marširaju za pravdu.

But I know it's not the same photograph that I would have seen,

Ali znam da to nije ona fotografija koju sam ja videla,

because I wouldn't take my oath to be a police officer until 1989.

jer sam tek 1989. godine položila zakletvu za policijskog službenika.

And I've been in the business for over 25 years.

Bavim se ovim poslom više od 25 godina.

And identifying as an African-American woman,

S obzirom na to da sam Afroamerikanka,

I know things have gotten better.

znam da su stvari pošle nabolje.

But even as I learned about public safety,

Ali dok sam učila o javnoj bezbednosti,

I wondered if what I was doing on the street

pitala bih se da li je ono što radim na ulici

was hurting or harming the community.

povređivalo nekoga ili štetilo zajednici.

And I often wondered if, you know, how did they perceive me,

Često sam se pitala kako me ljudi doživljavaju,

this woman in uniform?

tu ženu u uniformi?

But there is one thing that I knew.

Ali znala sam jednu stvar.

I knew there was a way that we could do this, probably, different or better.

Znala sam da verovatno postoji način da ovo uradimo drugačije ili bolje.

A way that preserved dignity and guaranteed justice.

Način koji će sačuvati dostojanstvo i koji će garantovati pravdu.

But I also knew that police could not do it alone.

Ali sam isto tako znala da policija ovo ne može uraditi sama.

It's the coproduction of public safety.

Već preko koprodukcije u javnoj bezbednosti.

There is a lot of history with us.

Nosimo mnogo istorije u sebi.

You know, we know loss.

Poznato nam je kako je izgubiti nekog.

The relationship between

Veza između afroameričke zajednice i policije je bolna.

the African American community and the police is a painful one.

Often filled with mistrust.

Često ispunjena nepoverenjem.

It has been studied by social scientists,

Njome se bave društveni naučnici,

it has been studied by government,

izučava je vlada,

all both promising, you know, hopeful new ways and long-term fixes.

i svi obećavaju nova, dugoročna rešenja.

But all we want is to be safe.

Ali sve što mi želimo je da budemo bezbedni.

And our safety is intertwined.

A naša bezbednost je komplikovana stvar.

And that we know, in order to have great relationships

Znamo da, ukoliko želimo da održavamo sjajne veze

and relationships built on trust,

koje su izgrađene na poverenju,

that we're going to have to have communication.

moramo da komuniciramo.

And in this advent and this text of the world that we've got going on,

U današnjim prilikama i svetu tekstova koji je prisutan,

pokušavajući da to uradimo preko društvenih mreža

trying to do this with social media,

it's a very difficult thing to do.

veoma je teško to postići.

We also have to examine our current policing practices,

Takođe moramo ispitati trenutne običaje policije

and we have to set those things aside that no longer serve us.

i moramo odbaciti sve stvari koje nam više ničemu ne služe.

So, in New York, that meant "stop, question and frisk."

U Njujorku, to bi značilo „zaustavi, ispitaj, pretresi“.

That meant really holding up the numbers as opposed to relationships.

To je značilo davati prednost brojevima nad uspostavljanjem veza.

And it really didn't allow the officers the opportunity

I to nije pružilo priliku policajcima

to get to know the community in which they serve.

da upoznaju zajednicu u kojoj rade.

But you see, there is a better way.

Ali vidite, postoji bolji način.

And we know -- it's called coproduction.

A zove se koprodukcija.

So in the 1970s, Elinor Ostrom came up with this theory,

Dakle, 1970-ih godina, Elinor Ostrom je osnovala teoriju

really called coproduction, and this is how it works.

koja se naziva koprodukcija, a evo kako funkcioniše.

You bring people into the space that come with separate expertise,

Dovedete ljude različitih stručnosti na određeni prostor,

and you also come with new ideas and lived experience,

dođete do novih ideja i iskustava

and you produce a new knowledge.

i stvarate novo znanje.

And when you produce that new knowledge,

Kada stvorite to novo znanje

and you apply this theory to public safety,

i primenite ovu teoriju na javnu bezbednost,

you produce a new type of public safety.

stvarate novu vrstu javne bezbednosti.

And so, in New York, it feels like this.

U Njujorku, to izgleda ovako.

It is called building relationships, literally one block at a time.

Zove se stvaranje veza, bukvalno jedno po jedno naselje.

And it's "Build the Block."

I zove se „Izgradite naselje“.

So this is how it works.

Evo kako funkcioniše.

You go to buildtheblock.nyc, you put in your address.

Odete na buildtheblock.nyc, unesete svoju adresu.

And up pops location, date and time of your neighborhood meeting.

Pojavljuje se mesto, datum i vreme sastanka u vašem komšiluku.

The important part of this is you've got to go to the meeting.

Važno je da morate otići na sastanak.

And once you go to that meeting,

I kada budete otišli,

there, of course, will be NYPD,

tamo će, naravno, biti policije,

along with officers and other community members.

zajedno sa službenicima i drugim članovima zajednice.

What's important about bringing, now, the lived experience into this space

Važna stvar u vezi sa iznošenjem svog iskustva na ovom sastanku

to produce new knowledge

kako bi se stvorilo novo znanje

is that we have to have a new way of delivering it.

je da moramo da ga prenesemo na inovativan način.

So the new way of delivering it

Novi način da ga prenesemo

is through what we call neighborhood coordinating officers, or NCOs.

je kroz koordinisane policajce u naselju, odnosno podoficire.

And so, also in this meeting are the NCOs,

Oni su takođe prisutni na sastanku,

the what we call 911 response cars,

ono što nazivamo kolima hitne pomoći,

sector cars, detectives,

vozila iz sektora, detektivi,

all of us working together to collaborate in this new way

svi mi radimo zajedno kako bismo sarađivali na novi način

to reduce crime.

da bismo smanjili stopu zločina.

And what's interesting about this is that we know that it works.

Zanimljivo je što znamo da ovo funkcioniše.

So, for example, in Washington Heights.

Na primer, u Vašington Hajtsu.

At a community meeting, there was a bar, up in Washington Heights,

Na jednom sastanku zajednice, pošto je postojao bar u Vašington Hajtsu,

and the neighbors were complaining about outcry and noises.

komšije su se žalile zbog vikanja i buke.

So in their conversations with their NCO,

Dakle, u razgovorima sa svojim podoficirom,

they talked about, you know, sound barriers,

pričali su o zvučnoj izolaciji

different ways to sort of approach this.

i različitim načima da se ovo reši.

Is there a different way we can direct traffic?

Možemo li drugačije usmeravati saobraćaj?

And of course now they have relatively quieter bar nights.

I sada su, naravno, noći u baru relativno tiše.

So, another issue that always comes up in neighborhoods is speeding.

Dakle, još jedna poteškoća u naseljima je brza vožnja.

How many of you in here have ever had a speeding ticket?

Koliko je vas dobilo kaznu za prekoračenje brzine?

Raise your hand.

Podignite ruku.

Oh, higher, come on!

Hajde, više!

There's more than that, this is New York.

Ima vas više, ovo je Njujork!

So those are other issues that brought to the NCO.

To su drugi problemi koje izlažemo podoficirima.

Speeding -- what the NCOs do

Što se tiče prekoračenja brzine,

is they collaborate with the Department of Transportation,

podoficiri sarađuju sa Ministarstvom saobraćaja,

they look at issues such as speed bumps and signage and all types of things.

bave se problemom ležećih policajaca, signalizacije i drugim pitanjima.

And when we come together to create this different type of policing,

Kada se skupimo kako bismo stvorili ovaj novi način rada policije,

it also feels different.

osećamo se drugačije.

The coproduction of public safety also means

Koprodukcija javne bezbednosti takođe podrazumeva

that officers need to understand

da policajci moraju razumeti

the history and the power of their uniforms.

istoriju i moć svojih uniformi.

They're going to have to set aside old historical narratives

Moraće ostaviti po strani priče iz prošlih vremena

that do not serve them well.

koje ničemu ne služe.

And that means they have to learn about implicit bias.

To znači da moraju da se upoznaju sa implicitnom pristrasnošću.

Implicit biases are shortcuts the brain makes

To su prečice koje mozak pravi

without us really knowing it.

bez našeg znanja.

They're stereotypes that often influence our decision making.

To su stereotipi koji utiču na naše odluke.

And so, you can imagine,

Možete da pretpostavite

for police officers who have to make split-second decisions

da kod policajaca koji moraju doneti odluku u trenutku

can be a very detrimental decision-making point.

ovo može biti štetno pri donošenju odluke.

That's why the NYPD, along with other departments throughout the United States,

Zbog toga njujorška policija, kao i druge policijske službe u SAD-u,

are training all of their officers in implicit bias.

obučava sve svoje policajce o implicitnoj pristrasnosti.

They have to understand that learning about their implicit biases,

Moraju da shvate da upoznavanje njihovih pristrasnosti,

having good training, tactics and deescalation

dobra obuka, taktika i deeskalacija,

and understanding how it impacts your decision making

kao i svesnost o tome kako utiču na donošenje odluka,

makes us all safer.

čine sve nas bezbednijim.

We also know how officers are treated inside the organization

Znamo i da način na koji se ophodi prema policajcima unutar organizacije

impacts how they're going to behave with the community at large.

ima uticaj na to kako će se oni ponašati prema zajednici.

This is critical.

Ovo je od ključnog značaja.

Especially if you want to have a new way forward.

Posebno ukoliko želite da krenete novim putem.

And we know that we have to care for those folks that are on the frontline.

Znamo da se moramo brinuti o tim ljudima na prvoj liniji fronta.

And they have to recognize their own trauma.

Oni moraju prepoznati svoje traume.

And in order to do that, us as leaders have to lift them up

Kako bi to uradili, kao vođe ih moramo ohrabriti

and let them know that the narratives of being strong men and women --

i ukazati im da priče o jakim muškarcima i ženama

you can set those aside, and it's OK to say you need help.

mogu ostaviti po strani, i da je u redu reći da vam treba pomoć.

And we do that by providing peer support,

To činimo kroz pružanje kolegijalne podrške,

employee assistance, mental health services.

pomoći zaposlenima, kao i kroz službe za mentalno zdravlje.

We make sure all of those things are in place,

Staramo se da su sve te stvari na raspolaganju,

because without it --

jer bez njih -

it's a critical component to the coproduction of public safety.

to je ključni deo koprodukcije javne bezbednosti.

Equally as important is that we also have social issues

Od jednake važnosti je i to da imamo i društvenih problema

that are often laid at the feet of law enforcement.

koji se često prebacuju na službe sprovođenja zakona.

So, for example, mental health and education.

Na primer, mentalno zdravlje i obrazovanje.

Historically, we've been pulled into those spaces

Kroz istoriju su nas gurali

where we have not necessarily provided public safety

tamo gde nismo nužno obezbedili javnu bezbednost,

but have enforced long, historical legislative racial desegregation.

već je sprovođena duga istorijska zakonodavna rasna desegregacija.

We have to own our part in history.

Moramo da prihvatimo svoj deo u istoriji.

But we also have to have those folks at the table

Ali takođe moramo uključiti i te ljude

when we're talking about how do we move forward with coproduction.

kada govorimo o planovima kako krenuti napred sa koprodukcijom.

But understanding this,

Ali kada shvatimo ovo,

we also have to understand that we need to have voices come to us

moramo i da razumemo da je potrebno čuti različita mišljenja

in a different way.

sa različitih strana.

We also have to recognize

Takođe moramo priznati

that the community may not be willing or ready

da zajednica možda nije voljna ili spremna

to come to the table to have the conversation.

da sedne za sto i krene sa razgovorom.

And that's OK.

I to je u redu.

We have to be able to accept that.

Moramo biti u stanju da to prihvatimo.

By acknowledging it, it also means that we care for the community's health

Priznajući to, mi brinemo o zdravlju zajednice,

and for their resiliency as well.

kao i o njenoj otpornosti.

That's another key component.

To je još jedna ključna komponenta.

We also have to acknowledge

Takođe moramo priznati

that there are those folks that are in our community that are here --

da u našoj zajednici postoje ljudi

they do want to do us harm.

koji žele da nam nanesu zlo.

We also have to recognize that we have community members

Takođe moramo prepoznati da imamo članove zajednice

who did not get the benefits of a long-ago dream.

koji nisu dobili povoljnosti iz davno sanjanog sna.

We also have to acknowledge

Takođe moramo priznati

that we have put faith in a system that sometimes is broken,

da smo položili nade u sistem koji nekada ne funkcioniše,

hoping that it would give us solutions for better.

nadajući se da će nam dati rešenja za bolje sutra.

But we cannot walk away.

Ali ne možemo pobeći.

Because there is a better way.

Jer postoji bolji način.

And we know this because the NYPD's neighborhood policing philosophy

To znamo jer je filozofija održavanja reda njujorške policije

is grounded in the coproduction of public safety.

zasnovana u koprodukciji javne bezbednosti.

And in order for us to move forward together,

Kako bismo zajedno nastavili napred,

with our family, our friends and for our health,

sa svojim porodicama, prijateljima i zarad svog zdravlja,

we have to make sure that we focus this way.

moramo se pobrinuti da se fokusiramo u ovom pravcu.

And in order to do that,

A kako bismo to uradili,

there are three fundamental ideologies that we must all agree to.

moramo se slagati oko tri osnovne ideologije.

Are you ready?

Da li ste spremni?

Oh, I'm sorry, one more time -- are you ready?

Izvinite, još jednom - da li ste spremni?

Audience: Yes!

Publika: Da!

Trejsi Kisi: Tako je već bolje.

Tracie Keesee: Now, that's better, alright.

The first one: There's no more wallowing in the why.

Pod jedan: nema više prenemaganja oko toga zašto su stvari takve.

We know why.

Znamo zašto.

We must move forward together. There's no more us versus them.

Moramo da produžimo dalje. Nema više „mi protiv njih“.

Number two:

Pod dva:

We must embrace the lived experience and our histories,

moramo se voditi iskustvom i istorijom,

and we must make sure we never go back to a place where we cannot move forward.

i moramo se postarati da se nikada ne vratimo na mesto odakle nema napretka.

And number three:

I pod tri:

We must also make sure

moramo se uveriti

that truth and telling facts is painful.

da su istina i iznošenje činjenica bolni.

But we also know that no action is no longer acceptable.

Takođe znamo da više ne možemo sedeti skrštenih ruku.

And agree?

Da li se slažete?

Audience: Yes.

Publika: Da!

TK: Ne mogu da čujem, slažete li se?

TK: Oh, I'm sorry, I can't hear you, do you agree?

Publika: Da!

Audience: Yes!

TK: Dakle, znamo da postoji bolji način.

TK: So we do know there is a better way.

A to je koprodukcija u javnoj bezbednosti.

And the better way is the coproduction of public safety.

Hvala vam.

Thank you.
