Anti-police Culture: Fostering Community Relationships by Developing Officer's Mental Fortitude
- Registration Closed
The anti-police culture is an impediment to fostering a constructive police-community relationship. Behind the officer lies a human being who undergoes daily insults, mockery, and threats which often results in an "us versus them" mentality. Providing body armor is essential in allowing officers to feel confident in high risk interventions, but it is not enough. It is much more challenging to provide them with the tools that will give them the mental fortitude to feel confident in their daily contacts, allowing them to focus on fostering healthy community relationships. The presentation showed the results of an innovative maieutic method (based on self-discovery) which has been proven through research with the Gatineau Police Department in the context of their overall ethics approach.
