Lansing Police Department Operations | Lansing, MI
Police interactions with citizens are in the national spotlight. What previously wouldn’t have made the local paper now makes national news. Too many training courses leave officers with the impression that they must choose between good officer safety and positive citizen contacts. What officers need are tools to effectively engage citizens in a professional manner without compromising their own safety in the process. That’s why Dynamics of Officer/Citizen Encounters was created.
Through guided discussion, self-assessment, and video analysis, participants will:
Review current research about the threats to officer safety
Understand the elements of the "Think CLEAR Approach to Officer Safety and Performance"
Understand how knowing your authority keeps contacts lawful
Explain why emotional intelligence may be the most important tool on your tool belt
Explore how adaptive decision making increases officer safety
Appropriate Audience
This course is designed for Sworn Personnel and Supervisors of those who interact with the public.
