Description: This course will address policing during the current events and times. We will delve into policing during a pandemic and social media driven events pushing for hatred and violence towards law enforcement. We will address possible ways to counteract some of the tactics with community policing and changing our own narratives. Protesting versus rioting - is there a difference? Are we as a society biased towards others? Let's see if we can affect change within ourselves and others. Let's build our house of cards to withstand the weather of current events. This will be an interactive course that looks for input from all of us. Let's open our minds and our mouths to see a change.
