Bridging the Racial Divide
Transformational Policing Model is a contemporary 21 st Century training strategy to assist police and community members in forming Positive Police-Community Partnerships (PPCP). TPM focuses on a true paradigm shift in policing. One of those shifts is to narrate a transition from “Warrior” to “Guardian”. A concept introduced in the 2015 President’s Final Task Force Report on 21 st Century Policing.
It is an obligation of organizations to train and prepare 21 st Century Police Officers for the risks and hazards in this truly noble profession. One cursory viewed training topics is daily interactions with the public. To be effective, our law enforcement officers must see themselves as a part of the community, serving as Guardians, in a true partnership role. Don’t be confused, there are times when a police officer must be a warrior to protect and guard the public.
Sir Robert Peel said it best, “The Police are the Community, and the Community are the Police.” Another key ingredient to partnership is where police and community have confidence in each other. Establishing trust where it has been betrayed or did not exist at all is going to be a significant challenge for the law enforcement profession in the coming years to affect true and lasting change in police-community relations. While challenging, it is not impossible to create a path toward restoring trust.
Transformational Policing Model is highly recommended for community members, law enforcement, government, and school officials. This course is offered in various modalities to include online, zoom, and face to face formats.
