Recommendations for First
Amendment-Protected Events for State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies

Whether demonstrating, counterprotesting, or showing support for a cause, individuals and groups have the right to peacefully gather. Law enforcement, in turn, has the responsibility to ensure public safety while protecting the privacy and associated rights of individuals.
