Implicit Bias: reflects a new way of thinking about the issue of biased policing. It is based on the science of bias, which tells us that biased policing is not, as some contend, due to widespread racism in policing. In fact, science tells us that even well-intentioned humans (and thus, officers) manifest biases that can impact their perceptions and behavior. These biases can manifest below consciousness.

     The goal of this course is to engage police officers in critical thought and discussion about contemporary mechanisms of bias regarding race, gender, sexuality, and other identities within the context of law enforcement, centering on identity traps and drawing on the scholarship of implicit bias and self-threats. Identity traps allow us to foreground the importance of the situation in predicting outcomes, and to move away from the framing of the problem of race in policing as one of prejudice. We will also pay attention to the underlying historical elements of identity traps and the implications they have for officers lived realities. 

     During this training event, participants will learn the tenets, and gain a deeper understanding of the core concepts of Implicit Bias and build better relationships within the communities that they serve.

     In-Service 2 Day LASER - 

AVAILABLE TO ROCKLAND COUNTY POLICE AGENCIES ONLY LASER – Law Enforcement Active

     Shooter Emergency Response Students will require their FEMA student identification number which can be located at https://cdp.dhs.gov/femasid Additional online registration with LSU for pre-testing is required prior to the first day of class. Terrorism involving active shooter attacks on population centers has become part of law enforcement officers’ awareness; however, increased awareness of a problem does not ensure preparedness or appropriate response tactics. This course addresses technical aspects of planning and implementing a rapid law enforcement deployment to an active shooter incident through classroom presentations, hands-on performance-based field training, and scenario-based practical exercises.

​

    Students will recieve an e-mail from RCPA@RCPIN.NET with the link to the LASER Pre-Test that must be completed prior to the class start date. Failure to do so will result in the officer not being able to complete the training.
