There is a crisis of trust and confidence in the police along with significant negative narratives.
In the last few years, we’ve witnessed a shift in public perception from seeing police as “good”, to viewing them as “bad.” The “defund the police” movement is now part of popular culture along with the poor image of policing in the media. And all around the nation, there seems to be a lack of national agreement about what the police are expected to do.
Peace Officer: Realizing The True Purpose of Policing is a suite of online training courses which take a deep dive into the reasons why this has happened, what police agencies can do about it locally and how we can develop a new approach to policing that works for everyone with policing that’s effective, empathetic and just.
