At the completion of the required courses students will be able to:
- Communicate effectively with members of a culturally and economically diverse community and assess how to meet community needs;
- Identify ways law enforcement can reduce abuse of authority and excessive force while increasing methods of community engagement including active listening, sensitivity, de-escalation, and intervention.
- Identify ways to engage, build trust, through transparency, approach-ability, and other effective practices to meet the needs of the community.
- Understand the functions and interrelationships among various public and private service agencies that will act as alternatives to the justice system.
This program is expected to produce 10-15 completers annually.
