Procedural Justice for Law Enforcement: Front-line Officers CJC-5046C

Procedural Justice for Law Enforcement: Front-line Officers is the companion course to the supervisor-level course Procedural Justice for Law Enforcement Agencies: Organizational Change through Decision Making and Policy and builds upon the internal foundation laid by the partner course.

This 8-hour course introduces front-line officers to the pillars of procedural justice and their operative use when interacting with the public. The course aims to increase understanding of why incorporating the pillars of procedural justice into everyday interactions with the public can enhance the community’s perception of police legitimacy and increase voluntary compliance and cooperation, ultimately increasing officer and community safety. Public trust grows and legitimacy improves when officers treat people with respect and exercise authority in a manner that is perceived as fair and just.

The course provides practical steps for procedural justice applications during all types of encounters with community. It further explores many of the challenges and stressors that threaten career “survival” and how procedural justice principles can mitigate many of those challenges, increasing officer safety and wellness.

The course is instructed by a highly qualified two-person team, bringing the perspective of law enforcement and an allied profession.
