Resource Overview: Procedural Justice: Roll Call
Training for Law Enforcement, a 5-part video series and accompanying
Presenter’s Guide, was developed to reinforce internal and external procedural
justice concepts. The series engages learners in the following concepts: Police
Legitimacy and the Community Bank Account, Building Police Legitimacy in the
Eyes of the Community, Dangerous Foot Pursuit: Officer Safety, Community
Complaint: Demonstrating Respect, and Day Off Request: Internal Policy
Implementation.
This roll call series should – over a period of time –
reinforce the broader awareness of procedural justice and its core principles
and affirm the importance of utilizing procedural justice as a means of
increasing police legitimacy with the public as well as organizational
legitimacy with employees. The videos reinforce how enhancing the public’s
perception of police legitimacy increases voluntary community compliance and
community support, which may as a result, improve officer and community safety.
While impactful, the roll call training should not be a substitute for in-depth
internal or external, front-line, supervisor, executive level, civilian staff
or community procedural justice training.
Each scenario/video in the series may be accessed via the
COPS Training Portal in two ways: played directly through your logged-in COPS
Training Portal user account, and/or downloaded, saved and played offline,
directly from your device. Each scenario is meant to be used in a separate roll
call training; each roll call training is designed to be approximately 20
minutes in duration. The material is relevant to sworn law enforcement
personnel at all organizational levels and could be creatively used as prompts
for community dialogues.
Target Audience: Sworn law enforcement personnel
at all organizational levels and front-line officers who have participated in
procedural justice training; preferably the Office of Community Oriented
Policing Services approved Procedural Justice for Law Enforcement:
Organizational Change through Decision Making and Policy and Procedural
Justice for Law Enforcement Front-line Officers.
Cooperative Partners: This 5-part video series was
developed by the Center for Public
Safety and Justice (CPSJ) at the University of Illinois - Chicago and was
supported by cooperative agreement 2012-CK-WXK-005 by the U.S. Department of
Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS).
