Civil Unrest and the psychology behind it

This Course is designed to create a better understanding of how Civil Unrest arises, and the dangers within a spectrum of competing agendas. It also provides an understanding of the types of protestors as well as the preemptors of unrest. By understanding the psychology of unrest, agencies are better tooled to prevent and/or mitigate the damage caused by unrest. This course also focuses on the improvements needed to change the racial climate by focusing on shared responsibility (Law Enforcement and Citizens) and how the gaps, in between, can be bridged. Unrest happens for a reason, whether valid or not, it happens. Once the unrest occurs, many aspects of the unrest can’t be changed, but can be managed. It is important to understand, that unrest can have costly consequences, and these consequences can result in life-long tragic outcomes. Many executives are held at a higher level of responsibility when it comes to unrest. So, it is not only ideal for best practices in policing, it is necessary to protect the image, trust, and functionality of the agency.
