Copwatch
Copwatch is a network of United States volunteer organizations that "police the police". Copwatch groups usually engage in monitoring of the police, videotaping police activity, educating the public about police misconduct, and advocating for more accountable law enforcement practices.

Online activities
The Copwatch.com website provides a database of reports of police misconduct and forums for the general public to discuss issues of police abuse. This site is not officially endorsed by a Copwatch organization, and has been criticized both for its confrontational tone and its alleged publication of personal information of police officers. One of the tactics advocated by the owners of this site is the "two person protest", intended to raise public awareness using a small number of people.[1]
The Copwatch Forums were created for the general public to discuss alleged police misconduct. Like the Copwatch Database, the forums are not endorsed by a specific Copwatch organization.
