Fayetteville PACT
Mission Statement
The Fayetteville PACT mission is to create a police-community taskforce of civilians for civilian oversight entities that seek to make local law enforcement agencies transparent, accountable, and responsible to the communities they serve. Fayetteville PACT will address all injustices and encourage equality no matter race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious and national origin representation.

ABOUT FAYETTEVILLE PACT
Fayetteville PACT was established in 2015 by Shaun McMillian and Kathy Greggs, both of whom are US Army combat veterans. Shaun was deeply troubled by the deaths of Tamir Rice and Trayvon Martin. He began researching the Fayetteville Police Department’s data on racial profiling, specifically “driving while Black.” Shaun then asked Kathy to help form a police accountability group in Fayetteville. Together, they met with Ivanna Gonzalez from Blueprint NC to develop the formation of PACT.
