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

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: Sexual Harassment Awareness & Prevention
DESCRIPTION:POST #21238 \n  \nSexual harassment in the workplace is not always easy to objectively identify. The difference between friendliness and inappropriateness can mean different things to different people. Because sexual attraction can play a role in the day-to-day social exchange between employees\, “the distinction between invited and uninvited-but-welcome\, offensive-but-tolerated\, and flatly rejected” sexual advances may be difficult to discern. This 90 minute session offers the participant information to help identify and prevent unlawful harassment. \nTOPICS INCLUDE:\n• Defining Sexual Harassment & Identifying the Different Types;\n• Warning Signs of Sexual Harassment;\n• Preventing Sexual Harassment;\n• How to tell if a coworker is being sexually harassed at work and what you can do about it; and\n• Behavior to Look for in the Harasser. \nCOST: Free \nPOST CLEE CREDIT: 1.5 hours Technical Studies \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.\n \nView System Requirements \n  \nREGISTER FOR WEBINAR

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Police Militarization and its Effect on Constitutional Policing
DESCRIPTION:POST #26284\n\n\nSome say the militarization of both rural and urban law enforcement may be attributed to the United States’ involvement in wars during the 20th century\, and to increasingly frequent encounters with violent protesters and criminals with automatic weapons\, explosives\, and body armor. After the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown\, and many other incidents that followed\, the militarization of policing and the use of military equipment by police became the subjects of contentious debate among the public\, policymakers\, and scholars. \nThis presentation begins by addressing the question\, “Have the police become over militarized?” It discusses the increased use of military style equipment and the possible negative consequences of a militarized police force. It finishes with a discussion on an acceptable balance between utilizing adequate safety equipment and protecting the community. \nTOPICS INCLUDE:\n• History of Police Militarization\n• The Perception of the Militarization of Police\n• Does Militarizing Local Police Reduce Crime\n• Why American Police Officers Look Like Soldiers\n• Procedural Justice and Building a Guardian Mindset\n• Balancing Utilization of Adequate Safety Equipment With Serving the Community \nPOST CREDIT: 2 Hours Technical Studies \nCOST: FREE \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nView System Requirements \n\n  \nREGISTER FOR WEBINAR
