Limited Capacity full
This workshop will focus on strengthening bonds between communities and the police while explaining the nuance of the relationship. Understanding existing stress levels within a community can help inform how it responds to acute or traumatic events. There will be discussion about training, technologies, and social skills that help foster a better relationship between police departments and the communities they are charged with protecting. Discussion will take place involving a chief of police, state trooper, and a brand-new police officer to communicate about recruitment, retention, and juxtaposition of being a police officer of color today.
