COURSE OVERVIEW
A lack of trust between a community and a law enforcement agency can prevent collaboration and relationship building. To be good at community engagement and community policing, you have to put in the work every single day to build trust with your community. In this course, Jill Lees will discuss the key components of community policing, how to use the SARA model to analyze what your community needs, and how to recognize and take opportunities to engage with your community and build trust.
In May 2015, the United States Department of Justice released the comprehensive findings of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. That report summarized six primary findings related to nearly every facet of criminal justice, including training and education. This course satisfies multiple areas covered in the task force report and consists of two primary modules designed to expand participant knowledge in the areas of implicit bias, cultural diversity, mental illness, emotional intelligence, effective de-escalation strategies, and community policing.
