Sheriffs’ Agencies – Mid-Manager
(8 hours, 30 attendees)
The FIP Mid-Manger training is for individuals within a sheriff’s agency or correctional facility who are above the rank of first-line supervisor and below what would be considered command staff (e.g., Lieutenants and Captains). This training combines elements from the first-line supervisor training and the command-level training, this training will help mid-mangers to:
- Identify and intervene with subordinates who may be acting in a biased manner,
- Challenge how they think about how bias might manifest in their own behavior,
- Understand how to speak about bias to individuals (e.g., sergeants, officers, community members) and groups (e.g., media, community groups), and
- Understand the elements of a comprehensive agency strategy to produce fair and impartial policing.
