policing, which can be very challenging. In addition to key content from the line-level course, this class:
- Helps supervisors identify subordinates who may be acting in a biased manner–including those well-meaning officers whose biased behavior may not be consciously produced;
- Provides guidance to supervisors on how they should respond to officers who exhibit biased policing behaviors;
- Challenges supervisors to think about how bias might manifest in their own behavior; and
- Provides guidance on how to speak about bias to individuals (e.g., officers, individual community members) and groups/media.
