SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Bias & Predictive Processing... Human Nature or Police Oppression?
DESCRIPTION:POST #21916 \n  \nBias is a natural part of the human condition — of how the brain works. And it affects how we make decisions\, engage with others\, and respond to various situations and circumstances. “Predictive processing” makes sense of the world by predicting what we will see and then updating these predictions as the situation demands. This prediction is based on the prior probabilities that have developed through our experience. Biases\, predictive processing\, and heuristics — a mental shortcut that allows us to solve problems and make judgments quickly and efficiently — are how our brains compensate for overload\, which can inhibit performance and lead to poor decision-making. This 90-minute presentation examines the nature of bias and how public safety personnel utilize heuristics and predictive processing to remain safe while providing professional services to the community. \nTOPICS INCLUDE:\n• Bias as Natural Part of the Human Condition\n• Heuristics and Cognitive Biases\n• The “Predictive Brain”\n• Implicit Bias & Stereotypes\n• How Patterns Shape Our Perception \nPOST CLEE CREDIT: 1.5 Hours Technical Studies-Implicit Bias \nCOST: FREE \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nView System Requirements \n  \nREGISTER FOR WEBINAR

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Cops Policing Their Own: But No One Likes a Tattletale
DESCRIPTION:POST #21216 \nWhen it comes to officers policing their own\, the old adage is\, “An officer can recall in vivid detail exactly what a suspect did a year ago\, but can’t remember what a fellow officer did yesterday.” This “Code of Silence\,” as it is described is the practice of closing ranks behind each other\, clamming up\, and protecting their own. This makes the holding of bad cops responsible for their actions practically impossible. But no one likes a “tattletale”\, right? In fact\, we often teach our children from an early age not to tattle. But as one member of a minority community put it\, “If they won’t snitch on each other they have no business asking us to do the same.” \nThis session examines reasons community members are reluctant to share information about crimes and contrasts those reasons with why cops are reluctant to share information about bad cops. \nTopics Include: \nDo cops really not like “tattling” and tattletales?\nWhy we punish “tattletales” and the impact on people coming forward.\nThe rationale for not report wrongdoing.\nBreaking the Code of Silence. \nPOST Credit: 1.5 Hours Technical Studies \nCOST: FREE \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nView System Requirements \n  \nREGISTER FOR WEBINAR
