项目描述

Public safety issues involving law enforcement officers use of excessive force, alleged acts of misconduct and disparity in enforcement have led to a renewed call for reforms in the selection and training of police officers, and in the practice and policy guiding the behavior of public safety organizations. These developments have highlighted the often-strained relationship between public safety officials and the communities they serve, especially communities of color. Hence the School of LEJA has developed a post baccalaureate certificate program (PBC) with its primary objective to develop and improve the leadership and engagement skills of students working in, 或寻求, positions in public safety administration.

Public safety administrators must develop the communication and leadership skills necessary to build bridges between groups that mistrust each other, and to motivate change in a public safety culture that is historically slow to admit error or assume new responsibilities. The courses included in this PBC would further the necessary skills to accomplish such a timely mission.

Students in the Community Engagement and Public Safety Leadership PBC will be able to:

  1. Respond effectively as leaders in the current social justice climate in various communities throughout the country.
  2. Foster the development of personnel cognizant of the managerial process as it relates to competency, 多样性, and disciplinary issues concerning the rights and responsibilities within a public safety context.
  3. Employ true community oriented public safety initiatives and restorative justice practices and change within diverse communities.
  4. 理解, 实现, and supervise constitutional policing as it relates to searches, 癫痫发作, and use of force situations embodying multiple constitutional, 联邦, 国家规定.
  5. Discern and mitigate public disruption and civil unrest incidents using best practices related to crisis intervention and de-escalation policies consistent with constitutional protections and public safety threats.
