About Copwatch
Winnipeg Copwatch…
Winnipeg Copwatch is an independent, collectively run group of volunteers working together to increase police accountability and decrease police misconduct.We go on foot patrols to non-violently observe and document interactions between police and civilians on the street.We use video cameras, still cameras and note-taking to deter police from violating peoples’ rights. We do not interfere with the police.We also hold “know your rights” trainings and other workshops.We believe police misconduct and brutality are related to racism, colonialism and other forms of oppression. Like all forms of oppression, police violence affects everyone, whether you have experienced it yourself or not.We are an open group and we welcome new members.
