Description
The DCJS Virginia Center for School and Campus Safety is pleased to offer England Consulting’s “Police and Community Relations: Understanding Cultural and Diverse Populations”.
This course explores the relationship of the police to the community including the role of police in contemporary society; abuses of discretion; past, present and future trends in policing; problem identification and solving; and ethical issues facing policing in a free society. An effective police-community relations program is one which deals with the prevailing problems of the agency's community. Program aspects including public relations, crime prevention efforts, youth programs, and police-community relations training must be considered in any comprehensive evaluation. One of the fundamental keys to successful law enforcement is good police-community relations, or the relationship between the police and the communities they serve. Good police-community relations are imperative for developing trust between police and citizens.
Topics to be discussed:
-
Understanding Generations, Society and Current Culture
-
Implementation of Community-Oriented Policing (COP)
-
Community Engagement, Shared Influence and Priority Setting
-
Decision Making, Problem Solving, Discretion and Evaluation
