Retired NYPD Detective Marq Claxton is a law enforcement analyst who has offered his clear and concise perspective on a host of high profile law enforcement related incidents. Because of his honest and candid commentary, he is a frequent contributor on many national media outlets and programs. Consistent with Marq’s commitment to Civil & Human Rights, he is the Director of Public Relations and Political Affairs with the BLACK LAW ENFORCEMENT ALLIANCE. Marq Claxton is a strong advocate for comprehensive Criminal Justice Reform. He firmly believes that absent a holistic reform model, law enforcement related professions will suffer a decline in efficacy and surrender many of the gains made through innovative strategies and programs of the 20th century. Marq believes “We (law enforcement) will either evolve or die. The greatest casualty of declining professional standards and expectations in law enforcement will be our relationship with the public. When we lose the public trust and confidence, we lose our credibility.” Twitter: https://twitter.com/BLACKALLIANCE1
