This course will explore questions and topics regarding community policing. How do we select and train peace officers to make better legal and ethical decisions in the
use of deadly force? We will explore the four elements of modern policing and the research and media reports on critical instances in which an officer’s behavior and
training are questioned. Review the controversial use of deadly force in the deaths of unarmed African American men and boys. Discuss the reasons why unflinching
allegiance by the police to the people is sacrosanct. Why were the earliest professional police candidates selected from members of the community? Explore national standards for peace officer selection and training, and the role unions play in the process. We will take a critical look at the curriculum for police training standards in California—how these standards work and what it means in communities. Has a militaristic warrior culture been created in modern policing? Policies pertinent to encounters and use of deadly force with the mentally ill will be reviewed. Establishing and maintaining the peace gives meaning to the core reason for police ethics, which is de-escalation in the use of force and unwavering allegiance to our people and nation. We will also review the six pillars of character and the nine mission objectives of policing, as well as study the legal model of the “reasonable person.” Discussions will include laws, policies and ethics that we deem must be present before a life is taken with no trial regarding the facts, and recognize that unarmed African American citizens want to go home to their families too.
