Inclusive Campus Policing - Eliminating barriers to collaboration

Inclusive Campus Policing - Eliminating barriers to collaboration

This two-part webinar series will engage participants in a thoughtful discussion and series of exercises designed to strengthen their understanding of trust, legitimacy and the relationship between these concepts to effective, collaborative policing operations.

During the first webinar, August 12, 2020 at 3:00pm ET, Elissa Buxbaum and Angelic Young will facilitate a discussion on the foundations of trust and legitimacy and the way in which both concepts relate to law enforcement and the communities they serve. Integrated into this discussion is a brief presentation on the history of law enforcement’s engagement with marginalized groups and the impact of that history on contemporary relationships. The facilitators will close the conversation by introducing the four key elements of the Inclusive Policing framework (described briefly below).

During the second webinar, August 18, 2020 at 3:00pm ET,  facilitators will take participants through the IP framework in-depth, leading participants through a series of exercises designed to draw out what each element of IP means, in practical terms, for participants and how such an approach might be operationalized at their agency. The program will close with a conversation (and exercise, if time) about leadership, resilience, and strategies for bridging communication gaps with communities.
