Policing in Modern Days: The New Normal

Course Description: In this thought-provoking training, law enforcement professionals will explore the seismic changes that have reshaped our field since the onset of the global pandemic. As we adapt to the “new normal,” this course provides essential insights and strategies for officers, supervisors, and leaders. Here’s what we’ll cover:

1. The Pandemic Shift: From Routine to Crisis:
   • Understand how law enforcement operations transformed during the pandemic.
   • Explore the challenges officers faced—from enforcing safety protocols to managing health risks.
2. Navigating Public Perception and Media Challenges:
   • Discuss the impact of protests, defunding debates, and media scrutiny on law enforcement.
   • Address strategies for maintaining public trust and countering negative narratives.
3. Reforms and Leadership Strain:
   • Examine the political pressures that led to agency reforms.
   • Learn how leadership coped with enforcing new norms while balancing community needs.
4. Community-Oriented Policing in the Post-Pandemic Era:
   • Explore effective strategies for community engagement and trust-building.
   • Discuss ways to align policing practices with community expectations.
5. Officer Wellness and Resilience:
   • Acknowledge the toll of high-profile incidents and riots on law enforcement professionals.
   • Share best practices for mental health support and resilience.

Our goal is to equip officers with the knowledge and tools needed to thrive in this evolving landscape. Let’s navigate these changes together.
