Principled Policing Instructor Course - Albany County

Principled Policing Instructor Course - Albany County

Principled Policing – Focuses on the way police interact with the public and how these interactions influence crime rates and the public’s view of police and their willingness to obey the law. Evidence shows that practicing procedural justice can have a significant impact on compliance, cooperation, public safety, and officer safety.

During this four-day training event, participants will learn the tenets of Principled Policing, gain a deeper understanding of the core concepts of police legitimacy and how to build better relationships within the communities that they serve. The four-day training event will follow a train-the-trainer model, allowing local criminal justice agencies to train their own staff locally on a timeline that suits their own needs. All instructors have extensive experience in delivering this material.

This four-day (32 hour) training event will cover the following topics:

Procedural Justice I - Procedural Justice and Police Legitimacy: This training session will focus on understanding police legitimacy and procedural justice, the relationship between the community and the police and the role history has played in hindering legitimacy in some communities.

Procedural Justice II - A Tactical Mindset: Through visual and scenario-based training modules, the second part of this training puts into practice the basic principles of Procedural Justice to increase officer safety improve the ability of police officers to do their jobs and recognize situations where procedural justice principles may apply.
