ASIS Statement Regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
17 June 2020
ASIS International condemns systemic racism and discrimination of any kind, anywhere, and we believe that black lives matter everywhere. ASIS International condemns the use of excessive force by law enforcement, and we call for more training of all law enforcement in the United States and around the world.
To this end, throughout the next year and beyond, ASIS International commits to improving and demonstrating its inherent commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This includes training and development for staff, volunteers, and members; revising our current Code of Ethics; developing an additional Code of Conduct; and, proactively partnering with other associations and organizations to actively foster safe and civil environments for knowledge exchange and dialogue around racism and discrimination globally.
We are committed to working with our chapters across the globe in addressing this issue.
Lastly, ASIS International pledges to work with law enforcement organizations to collectively learn from the past and forge a path towards a better future based on equity and inclusion.
