Course Overview

Police & minority relations will only improve through realistic, up-to-date training, dealing with the issues head-on.  This one day course will help officers identify & understand the problem, communicate more effectively with minorities, ensure compliance with federal & state laws, prepare for hostile encounters, and continue to engage in proactive policing without jeopardizing their safety.  Across the United States, police commanders and community leaders have engaged in numerous meetings to help heal and strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and minorities. 

Although these efforts have made positive gains, it is the front line patrol officer & supervisor who are at the greatest risk of a hostile encounter. This course is not designed to create an atmosphere of passive or reactive policing. When that approach is taken, the criminals win and wreak havoc in the community.  In addition, it creates a more dangerous environment for police officers. This course will focus on bridging the gap between law enforcement and minorities while maintaining smart, aggressive strategies to deal with those that choose to violate the law.
