Implicit Bias: Awareness & Mitigation

This one day course is designed to equip law enforcement professionals with the knowledge, awareness, and strategies necessary to identify and address implicit bias in their decision-making processes. Implicit bias is an inherent part of human cognition; however, in law enforcement, it can impact interactions, investigations, and enforcement actions in ways that compromise fairness, erode community trust, and diminish the effectiveness of officers. Within our organization, it may manifest as disproportionate scrutiny of average or underperforming employees, while potentially overlooking issues with high-performing individuals.

By fostering self-awareness and accountability, this lesson aims to promote fairness in policing, enhance decision-making, and strengthen both community trust and internal cohesion within law enforcement agencies.
