Target Audience: Law Enforcement Officers

Course Description: The Fair and Impartial Policing TOT Program allows teams of trainers, from academies and other law enforcement training organizations, to learn to implement both the recruit/patrol officers’ and first-line supervisors’ curricula.  This 2.5 day TOT “walks” trainers through every aspect of the Fair and Impartial Policing Training Program and provides opportunities to “practice” teaching the modules of both curricula.  At the conclusion of the TOT, trainers will be able to:

• Understand and effectively communicate the science of implicit bias and the fact that it cans impact on what we perceive/see and can (unless prevented) impact on what we do;
• Understand and effectively communicate that fair and impartial policing leads to effective policing; and,
• Use the Fair and Impartial Policing Training curricula to teach academy recruits/patrol officers and first-line supervisors to (1) recognize their conscious and implicit biases; (2) implement “controlled” (unbiased) behavioral responses; and (3)   promote fair and impartial policing in their daily work.
