The COPS Training Portal is pleased to announce the availability of a new online course, Changing Perceptions: A Fair and Impartial Policing Approach, created by WILL Interactive.
Changing Perceptions is a video-based simulation in which learners assume the roles of three different law enforcement officers in an interactive movie, make decisions for these officers and experience the consequences of their choices. The program trains officers on the effect of implicit bias and gives them the information and skills they need to reduce and manage their biases. Additionally, by allowing officers to experience the same encounter from two perspectives (officer and possible suspect) simultaneously, this program provides officers an insight into the biases that some members of the community may harbor toward police and why those biases exist.
The 3 module course takes an average of 1 hour to complete and is intended for law enforcement personnel.
