This two-day class was developed to address officer responses to Critical Incidents or “Toxic” experiences that have the potential to emotionally cripple officers and to address the “corrosive” or cumulative effects of the job that assault officers every day.

The law enforcement community rewards traits such as physical toughness, independence, emotional restriction, and the ability to react in the face of traumatic events. However, it is unquestionable that police officers and support personnel face specific psychological distress on the job as a result of exposure to toxic and corrosive situations. As a result, many officers suffer from high rates of depression, anxiety, stress, anger management problems, and relationship difficulties. At times, the level of critical incident stress and occupational stress leads to: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Major Depression, Substance Abuse, Alcoholism, and at worst, Suicide. However, by studying and understanding potential emotional and physical reactions to critical incidents and everyday organizational stressors, officers can develop the personal and social resilience to truly survive and grow in the law enforcement professional and their personal lives.

Fair & Impartial Policing
2019-03-15 08:30 - 16:30 | Grand Blanc Twp. Police Dept., 5405 S. Saginaw Street, Grand Blanc, MI, 48439, United States
The Fair & Impartial Policing (FIP) curricula is based on the science of implicit bias. Implicit biases can impact what people perceive and do, even in people who consciously hold non-prejudiced attitudes. The implication of the science of bias is that even the best law enforcement officers may manifest bias because they are human, and even the best agencies will have biased policing because they hire humans. The FIP curricula are founded on the following fundamental principles:
The FIP Training Program for Patrol Officers is an 8-hour program that applies the modern science of bias to policing; it trains officers on the effect of unconscious bias and gives them the information and skills they need to reduce and manage their biases. The curricula address, not just racial/ethnic bias, but biases based on other factors, such as gender, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status, age, and more. Officers will learn:

All people, even well-intentioned people, have biases
Having biases is normal to human functioning
Biases are often implicit or unconscious, and can impact our perceptions and decisions
To recognize their implicit biases, and how to implement skills to manage biases
How promoting fair and impartial policing can strengthen police- community trust

FIP National Instructors represent local, county, state, and university police, and bring practical, “street-wise” applications for law enforcement personnel at all levels of the organization.
Instructor: Lt. Sandra Brown, FIP, LLC, retired.
Lieutenant Brown brings 29 years of law enforcement experience, serving with the Palo Alto (CA) Police Department from 1988 until 2011. She held numerous leadership positions within the department, including Internal Aﬀairs Commander, Personnel and Training Coordinator, Media Relations and Department Spokesperson, and Workers’ Compensation Manager. Lt. Brown served as a member of the Fair and Impartial Policing Curriculum Design Team and was instrumental in developing the Supervisors’ curriculum. Ms. Brown is based in Oakland (CA).
