Cultural Diversity Competency and Racial Profiling for Law Enforcement Officers

Picture
P.O.S.T APPROVED 3-HOUR CREDIT - INTERPERSONAL

Law Enforcement officers often face the challenges of understanding and interpreting the behaviors, attitudes and actions of culturally and linguistically diverse citizens. Sometimes, the lack of understanding of the cultures of minority populations leads officers to do or say something --sometimes very innocently-- that can easily be interpreted as evidence of racial profiling.
The purpose of this important course is to help Peace Officers develop the necessary skills to deal effectively with various situations presented to them by individuals of various ethnicities without being labeled or accused of racial profiling. Additionally, Officers will find responses to the following 4 questions that are frequently asked in the law enforcement departments:
  1. What cultural factors influence minority public’s negative perception of Peace Officers?
  2. How can officers enhance their effectiveness in cross-cultural communications and problem solving skills in order to deal efficiently with people of various races?
  3. How to avoid the perception of Police profiling by dealing appropriately with the behavioral patterns (verbal and non-verbal) exhibited by people of various ethnicities?
  4. What types of Police interventions are appropriate with resistance of persons of various races, in order to avoid perception of Police Profiling when providing appropriate responses to diverse cultural confrontations? This course, Cultural Diversity Competency and Racial Profiling for Peace Officers is approved as a required course for three (3) credit hours of Continuing Education for Law Enforcement Officers in the State of Missouri with reciprocity in many other states. The Department of Public Safety of the Sate of Missouri approved this course for continuing education hours for the statewide P.O.S.T. (Peace Officers Standards of Training) Program, in the core curriculum area of Interpersonal. At the completion of the course, participants will be issued a certificate containing the assigned P.O.S.T. Control Number for this course.

“This is the best class of the week. Dr. Ngomsi makes sensitive and complex issues so simple to understand, and the discussions so comfortable for all. I like his stories, his sense of humor and the examples he uses.”

Captain J. Chapman, CIT Trainer

“The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill of Greater Kansas City (NAMI-KC) has worked actively to promote, implement and sustain treatment for ALL persons with mental illness regardless of culture, and is dedicated to the principals of cultural competency. Dr. Ngomsi is dedicated to the same standards of cultural competency and has worked actively to promote, implement and sustain treatment for all persons with mental illness regardless of culture, race, religion, language, age, gender, or sexual preference. Both NAMI-KC and Dr. Ngomsi plan and deliver Culturally Competency training, which prepares law enforcement officers to respond to all law enforcement calls according to the principals of Cultural Competency.”

Guyla Stidmon, Executive Director 
NAMI of Greater Kansas City

“Dr. Emmanuel Ngomsi has been a volunteer instructor for the Crisis Intervention Team training conducted through the Mid-America CIT Council for 7 years. Dr. Ngomsi’s ability to combine wide subject knowledge with excellent instructional strategies makes his class rated by officers as one of the top five in a forty-hour training course. His wide range of experience in training guides him to provide what students like the most in his class; his ability to provide students with practical information that they will use in their work and life.”
