Companies must instill a philosophy of belonging that supports equity, diversity, inclusion, and a culture of thoughtfulness (EDICT©) throughout their organization to ensure they can meet the needs of a global economy. They must do so quickly. The philosophy of EDICT© helps companies become stronger, attract and maintain top-tiered talent, build employee engagement, increase innovation, and improve business performance!

Simply knowing that the ROI of diversity and inclusion as it relates to the diversity of race alone can be as high as 36% over the competition that remains homogeneous or lacks significant inclusion, plus the ROI on gender and other diversity and inclusion factors, should be inspiration enough; but we know it is not. That is where training in, and practice of EDICT© come into play. It will keep your organization on track and on focus to ensure that diversity, inclusion, and fair and equitable treatment are core values throughout all levels of your organization.

 

Even if a company believes that its customer base or constituency is local, it can quickly become global through social media and the Internet. What faces do you want your company to be represented by?

Effective Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training, policy development, and procedural processes are critical to your success. Our training program, EDICT©, helps workplace cultures instill the core values of equity, diversity, inclusive culture, and thoughtfulness throughout all levels of your organization and daily interactions. When we can achieve just a fraction of this based on the definition of an edict, "a proclamation having the force of law", imagine the heights organizations can reach proclaiming EDICT© as their goal.

Impacts of Implicit Bias on Procedural Justice and Fair and Impartial Policing

What You Think Impacts Your Decisions Even Before You Put Your Uniform On

It is not uncommon for professions to lose their way and stray from their founding principles. In 1829, Sir Robert Peel the father of policing created the Nine Principles of Policing. He understood that to be effective in civil society, police must answer to the community and not the other way around. Treating people with respect, giving them agency (voice) during encounters, and not using excessive force is a significant part of professional policing that he created in these principles. They are as valid today as they were in 1829. 

 

In this course, police officers and other criminal justice professionals will gain a comprehensive knowledge of the foundations of police procedural justice and legitimacy in today’s environment. The focus will be on the impact of implicit bias and lack of cultural competency in the provision of fair and impartial policing services.

When left unchecked, biases can have a negative impact on performance, productivity, career, police effectiveness, and community relations. Participants will learn how to disrupt and mitigate the bias they bring to the job and those biases they develop that are displayed in enforcement encounters while ensuring laws are being enforced fairly.

 

The course will discuss community engagement, community-based policing, and decision-making that creates a foundation for fair and impartial policing as a tool to rebuild trust in the communities that police officers serve and create a safer environment for police officers and the public.
