COURSE OVERVIEW: This new 8-hour program has been designed to provide attendees with the critical skills

law enforcement personnel need to work with and understand different ethnic, racial, cultural, and gender

groups, thus resulting in better relations between these communities and the police. 

Students will examine ways in which effective and appropriate cultural competency positively impacts decision-making and encourages creative methods for problem solving.  Through participation in practical exercises and discussions conducted throughout this lecture, students will be immersed in practical applications of cultural competency and will gain a renewed appreciation for how cultural competence affects organizations.

Topics to be addressed in this program include:

- Establishing a framework for cultural competency to identify personal

  stages of development

- Recognizing cultural competency as a skill to be developed

- Cultural competency as a means for increased understanding, improved

  communication, and effective interaction with people across cultures

- Communicating effectively and teaching these skills to others
