Law Enforcement is constantly learning new skills to keep up with the demands of the ever-increasing social issues, which are matched only by the level of complexity in every situation. This seminar goes beyond the physical tactics required by law enforcement and equips officers with training to promote the safety of all involved for positive crisis response.

Law Enforcement Guide to Understanding Autism

Develop a deeper understanding into autism spectrum disorder (ASD), gain recognition in identifying behaviors associated with ASD, how disparities can be barriers inform law enforcement response, and gain strategies and practices to promote safe, effective, and positive outcomes when in situations involving ASD.

Wellness

Today’s Climate in Law Enforcement creates incredible pressures and enormous stress on our nation’s Police Officers. The daily exposure to continued trauma and stress takes its toll on the officer’s mental health. This course will focus on understanding & identifying common mental health factors affecting Police officers as a result of continuous exposure to trauma and how that trauma can trigger certain emotions and behaviors.

M2M American Stories of Cultural Change

This course examines the history of race relations and policing in the United States through historical stories of resiliency against oppression that reveal the roots of persistent inequalities and foster a deeper understanding of the issues facing our communities today. Participants will journey from America’s birth to the present day, while discovering how institutional racism and the laws, policies and practices in our country have historically disadvantaged people of color creating fear and mistrust. M2M explores individual behaviors, defines explicit and implicit bias, and provides practical strategies for how to identify and interrupt implicit bias in their lives and in their daily work. Through this historical and exploration, participants in M2M are challenged to make a commitment to create positive change through engagement and impartial police practices that collectively will help create safer communities for all people.

Hate Crime

Hate Crime is often misunderstood and as a result, unfortunately, goes unreported by victims, witnesses and even our Law Enforcement officials. This course will explore the serious impact of hate crimes and discuss how Law Enforcement can play a significant role in Minnesota’s fight, against hate groups and crimes committed, motivated by bias.
