Vera’s Center on Immigration and Justice seeks a Program Analyst to work primarily on three federally-funded projects that aim to improve police-immigrant relations through researching the impact of cultural and language barriers, identifying promising practices, and training law enforcement. One of these programs specifically focuses on law enforcement relations with Arab, Muslim, and South Asian communities in the post-September 11th environment. Vera has a long history of collaboration with community stakeholders and law enforcement to improve public safety. Vera is widely acknowledged as one of a few national experts on police-immigrant relations. Our work positions us at the forefront of the policing field’s growing interest in police-immigrant relations. The Program Analyst will have a key role in our currently funded projects, as well as in identifying gaps to be covered in future projects.
