Law Enforcement Culture and Public Perceptions
Nothing is as important to government services as the relationship between law enforcement and the public that is served. Law enforcement is the most highly recognized portion of government. Recent actions and news stories have had a devastating impact on perception of law enforcement. Agencies and individual employees must understand their role and that every action and statement that is made reflects on the profession as a whole. This training will focus not only on individual employee attitudes and beliefs, but also organizational concepts that perpetuate a lack of trust with the community.
