Course Description

This course includes an examination of the evolution of policing as it relates to the current progressive policing era. Interrelationships and leadership role expectations among police and the public are studied.

Today, the relationship between law enforcement and the public is strained. Modern and progressive law enforcement agencies are working hard to build a trusting relationship with the various communities they serve. In any city or county, there exists a wide variety of sub-communities based on identities such as race, nationality, age, sexual orientation, disabilities and many others. In order to best serve all corners of a jurisdiction, law enforcement must understand the wide variety of visible and invisible differences in the people living there.

A focal point of this class will be the fundamentals of community policing including how to build trust through communication, partnerships, and problem solving.

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

Analyze the history of community policing in the contexts of race and class.
Explain the intersection of police, leadership, and community organizational models in the traditional and progressive policing eras.
Examine how both crime and fear inform progressive policing.
Describe the evolution of progressive policing techniques, their implementation and efficacy.
