The Law Enforcement Profession has changed since the events in Ferguson and Baltimore. The Final Report of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing points out how the mission of law enforcement is “to build trust between citizens and law enforcement so that all components of a community are treating one another fairly and justly and are invested in maintaining public safety in an atmosphere of mutual respect.” Therefore, familiarization with communication styles, customs, language, and behavior patterns of various cultures, ethnic groups and non-traditional populations will effectively enhance the quality of police services and the agency’s image. Shared knowledge of various populations will enhance officer safety and is likely to increase understanding and empathy in the process of improving law enforcement/citizen contact. “Fair and Impartial Policing” is all about Serving the Community with Honor, Dignity and Respect. It also takes focused and effective training not just diversity.  

This class provides a real look at the 21st Century Policing Model. It includes Community Relations, Trust Building, Human/Cultural Diversity, Ethical Decision-Making Skills and Officer Safety and Wellness.
