What We Do
Kansas City Law Enforcement Accountability Project (KCLEAP) is a community-based investigating and victim advocacy agency focused on local police violence, law enforcement accountability and victim/family support. Since 2021, KCLEAP has investigated multiple shootings and non-lethal use of force cases, and worked to support those victims and their families in multiple capacities. We DO NOT work with the police. All witnesses can remain anonymous, and we do not identify witnesses without their permission. Community trust is paramount, and all members/volunteers must sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Why We Exist
Since 1998, the Kansas City Police Department has killed over 150 people. Only a single officer has been held accountable. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is the investigating agency, but how do we trust cops to investigate themselves? Because of the lack of accountability, our community does not trust the process. It's up to us to build community trust to get justice for victims of police violence.
