Training Programs
Sheriffs’ Agencies – Line Personnel
(8 hours, 30 attendees)
For line personnel in a sheriff’s agency, FIP offers a law enforcement-focused program, a corrections-focused program, or a hybrid program that incorporates content for both audiences. FIP’s training program for sheriffs’ agencies includes specialized content to address the breadth of duties associated with these law enforcement professionals. This course incorporates the core content of FIP’s curricula and provides examples, scenarios, and research related to corrections, court security, and law enforcement. At the completion of this course, attendees will:
- Understand that even well-intentioned people have biases,
- Understand how implicit biases impact what we perceive/see and can (unless prevented) impact on what we do,
- Understand that fair and impartial behavior produces just, safe, and effective law enforcement and corrections – whether that be on the street, in a courthouse or in a correctional facility, and
- Implement skills to reduce and manage their biases.
Sheriffs’ agencies may choose a curriculum focused on law enforcement, corrections, or a combination of both (hybrid).
