The FIP® TOT allows teams of trainers to learn to implement both the patrol officers’ and first-line supervisors’ curricula. This 2-day TOT “walks” trainers through every aspect of the FIP Training Program and provides opportunities to practice teaching both curricula.

At the conclusion of the TOT, trainers will be able to:

  • Understand and effectively communicate the science of implicit bias.
  • Understand and effectively communicate that fair and impartial policing leads to safe, effective and just policing.
  • Use the FIP Training curricula to teach academy recruits and patrol officers and first-line supervisors to: (1) recognize their conscious and implicit biases and (2) implement skills to promote fair and impartial policing in their daily work.

Patrol and Supervisor Booster Courses

FIP’s Booster training is appropriate for patrol officers and first-line supervisors who attended their initial 8-hour training approximately 12 to 18 months prior. This course reinforces key FIP concepts using decision tree modeling. Participants are introduced to a variety of live-action scenarios and asked to employ critical concepts learned in their initial FIP course to decide which “paths” to choose throughout the scenarios. At each decision point, participants are reminded of the science of bias and the FIP framework that produces safe, just, and effective policing.

Supervisor Courses

TThe FIP Training Program for Supervisor is an 8-hour program that applies the modern science of bias to policing; it trains supervisors on the effect of unconscious bias and gives them the information and skills they need to reduce and manage their biases. The curricula addresses, not just racial/ethnic bias, but biases based on other factors, such as gender, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status, age, and more. Supervisors will learn:

  • How to recognize their own implicit biases, and skills to manage biases
  • How to identify and intervene with subordinates who may be impacted by bias
  • Identify how bias can impact both managerial and operational decision making
  • How promoting fair and impartial policing can strengthen police- community trust
  • The importance and role of policy in creating a fair and impartial agency
