                                      Understanding Misconceptions about Bias

This course is designed to address the many misconceptions about bias, and to identify all individuals who have bias, which is all of us.  We empower law enforcement and encourage them to ‘NOT’ to accept the word ‘BIAS’ as a descriptor for their interactions with the public.  Each attendee will discover the possibilities of incident-free interactions, with the public, when it comes to presumed biased actions.  Officers will be encouraged to hone-in on training and policy as a guide and expectation for interaction.  Bias is not an action or interaction, it’s part of an intricate thought system that is complex and vast.  Behavior is an action which can create what’s ideal between the citizen-police encounter.  We will also focus on managing one’s own behavior as well as intervening on behalf of one’s partner, department, and citizens.
