6 Hours
This six-hour course will review the challenges of addressing racial profiling and address the fact that police must do more to address the concerns of the minority communities. Many states, including Arkansas, have passed legislation addressing racial profiling. Racial profiling by law enforcement agencies can lead to liability in a variety of ways. Officers and supervisors must take a proactive approach to this problem. American policing is facing a tremendous challenge: a widespread perception that the police are routinely guilty of bias in how they treat minorities. The course begins at 9:00 a.m. and concludes at 4:00 p.m.
