Master of Arts in Design and Innovation students, Hope Anderson, Ramisa Faruque, Kaci McCartan and Samantha Navarro are working directly with the Dallas Police Department over the spring 2021 semester to approach the design question: How might we improve procedural justice for the Dallas Police Department? Following seven-step Human-Centered Design process, we will ultimately test our hypotheses through a series of prototypes. Our design solution will be submitted to DPD and has the potential for real-world implementation. This semester presents a unique challenge of navigating sensitive social and political issues on the heels of a heightened Black Lives Matter Movement and push to defund the police across the nation.
