Berkeley Copwatch is the original Copwatch group. as an all-volunteer organization dedicated to monitoring police actions and non-violently asserting our rights. Since that time, many Copwatch-type organizations have sprung up across the nation, in various forms. We do not attempt to interfere in police activity or to resist police misconduct physically. It is our hope that, one day, mass outrage
at police and government violence will increase to a point where fundamental change in the nature of policing becomes inevitable.
