The Quattrone Center is a nonpartisan national research and policy hub that focuses on identifying potential improvements in the criminal legal system.

The center has collaborated with the Morgan Lewis MFE team to review police practices in Madison, Wisconsin, which was the scene of protests and violence in the wake of the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minnesota police officer.

Over a period of six months, the Morgan Lewis MFE team gathered and analyzed thousands of data points, working alongside the Quattrone Center and a diverse group of community and law-enforcement stakeholders.

The Quattrone Center produced a commissioned review of policing practices in Madison, which was requested by the city's police chief and resulted in a report that identified specific incidents occurring during the police response and violence that erupted in Madison following the Floyd tragedy.

The report provided nearly 70 recommendations on evaluating the resources available to police and suggested improvements such as expanding protest-facilitation training for all officers and naming community representatives to enhance communication with protesters.

More than 50 Morgan Lewis lawyers and eData technology and operations team members supported the project by reviewing thousands of pages of police reports and policies, analyzing 700-plus hours of video footage, and interviewing Madison officers.

The team's critical contributions to the report will help Madison residents and police work together to safely exercise and protect the First Amendment freedoms of the community.

The report was incorporated into the Sentinel Event Review report on policing practices in Madison, which is a comprehensive review of the policing practices in the city.
