multicultural and diversity training to Law Enforcement

multicultural and diversity training to Law Enforcement

Address the following case study in a brief essay of 250-300 words; answering the questions listed below:
Your department has decided to provide multicultural and diversity training to all its sworn and non-sworn personnel. Your town has had a significant increase in ethnic/racial minority population in the last five years, and your department wanted to increase positive police-community relations through this training.

 

A fellow officer is telling you in the presence of other officers in the break area that he thinks the Department should not be involved in multicultural and diversity training for police officers. He thinks that this kind of training is unnecessary and a waste of taxpayers’ money and states that if people want police services they should learn to speak English like all Americans. He also said that people from ethnic/racial minority communities are the ones that need to change, not the officers in the Police Department. What are your thoughts and what would you do?
1. What are the facts (observable, verifiable, testable, and confirmable)?
2. What are the assumptions?

3. What are the possible stereotypes?
4. What would be your personal reactions to this situation?
5. What would be the possible other officers’ reactions to this situation?
6. Would someone from the ethnic/racial minority community see something different? What would they see differently (if applicable)?
7. What would be your professional reactions to this situation?
8. What actions would you take in this situation? What would you say to your fellow officer? What would you say to the other officers within hearing distance?
9. If you had to explain your actions to the other officers, the ethnic/racial minority community, the City’s Human Rights Commission, and your superiors in front of the news media, what would you say?
