Redefining Community Policing - Webinar

Course Objective:
As a policing professional do you find yourself frustrated with today’s negative national narrative on policing? Do you find yourself becoming burned-out due to shortages in staffing while calls for services keep increasing? Are you discouraged that your community expects the police to fix all of their problems? This highly interactive course was specifically designed for you.

• For many in the policing profession, Community Policing has become            just another buzz word or catchy phrase highlighted on your department’s website.
