What Is Racial Profiling Education Solutions?
Racial Profiling Education Solutions (RPES) is a solution-oriented series of diversified and highly participatory cultural education courses designed to provide law enforcement professionals with enhanced knowledge that allows them to better understand cultural differences, and improve their skills in interacting with the multicultural citizens they protect and serve. The ultimate outcome of RPES is to assist both the community and law enforcement to overcome their biases and develop among them positive, fair, and impartial relationships. Our Rationale Research indicates that people who deeply understand the cultures in which they work and live are successful in providing better services to individuals in those cultures. Law enforcement professionals better interact with the citizens in a fair and impartial way, and build better relationships with their communities, when they understand the cultures of their citizens and the citizens theirs. Our Mission Promote trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve and protect, and provide law enforcement solution-oriented cultural education leading to the application of fair and impartial policing. |

Our Values
To instill a commitment to bias-free, fair and impartial policing in officers, we first commit to bias-free, fair and impartial instructional strategies and contents. We present positive, non-accusatory content, ideas, and discussions that are proven to be far more effective than those that emphasize negative sanctions, accusations or fear. Fairness attracts fairness!
Our Methodology
"The [Racial Profiling] training shall promote understanding and respect for racial and cultural differences and the use of effective, non-combative methods for carrying out law enforcement duties in a racially and culturally diverse environment.”

Fairness attracts fairness!
Our Methodology
- Our cultural classes are very interactive and highly participatory. Participants discuss and find solutions to numerous real life cultural challenges that officers face during the execution of their professions. This is accomplished through numerous case studies, mini-lectures, and short video
- Small group and face-to-face classroom settings allow officers to express themselves and learn from each other. This is accomplished through real scenarios in which it is sometimes a challenge to reconcile the application of the laws with the understanding of the cultures involved.
- In order to instill a commitment to bias-free policing in officers, we first commit to bias-free instructional strategies and contents. We use positive, non-accusatory content, ideas, and discussions that are proven to be more effective than those that stress negative sanctions or fear.
- Most courses include a short inventory to assess participants’ degree of cultural awareness, followed by an informative debriefing to help shine light on the importance of understanding the relativity of cultures even within the same department. It is important for participants to constantly progress on the continuum of the developmental process of cultural sensitivity.

RACIAL PROFILING 100 (RP100)
CULTURAL DIVERSITY COMPETENCY & RACIAL PROFILING FOR PEACE OFFICERS
The Missouri POST Program has approved this course for
3 CEUs - Interpersonal Perspectives
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 unconsciously-- 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 cultures and ethnicities without being labeled or accused of racial profiling.

RACIAL PROFILING 200 (RP200)
CULTURES-ORIENTED COMMUNITY POLICING
The Missouri POST Program has approved this course for
3 CEUs - Interpersonal Perspectives
This course is designed to provide research-based responses to the fundamental question, “Why is Racial Profiling this vicious circle where law enforcement often sees things differently than the communities they serve?” Our communities, law enforcement professionals and politicians are divided on what constitutes Racial Profiling, a phenomenon that has become a poison for our communities. This course is based on established research by academic experts, on how various interpretations of racial profiling affect the cultures of our communities. Results of research are selected to support each assertion that is claimed in support or in negation of racial profiling. Can racial profiling be detrimental in law enforcement officers’ efforts to protect the community they serve? Absolutely! Is there research and evidence in support of “good racial profiling” that had prevented and can prevent damage from reaching the community? Of course!
Participants will discuss the politics and practices that produced racial profiling over several decades, and what tools and practices communities can use to confront and eliminate it, thus creating a more harmonious environment where law enforcement is trusted to protect its citizens and were the citizens fully participate in “Community-Oriented Policing.”
(This course was designed with educational materials and contribution of Kansas City Missouri Police Chief Darryl Forté. We thank Chief Darryl Forté for his contribution.)

RACIAL PROFILING 300 (RP300)
MINORITY CULTURES-ORIENTED POLICING
The Missouri POST Program has approved this course for
4 CEUs - 2 Interpersonal Perspectives + 2 Technical Studies
Race has always been -and may continue to be- the dominant cultural construct that creates differences and antagonism between members of diverse communities. Explanations of this phenomenon find their roots in the history of racial segregation in most parts of the USA, and, most importantly, race is one of the few most visible cultural characteristics that serve as basis of cataloging citizens.
This course examines the stereotypes and prejudices that have been built during many decades across the nation and that are often the basis of discriminating major minority groups: African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics, and Indian- Americans. Participants will discuss characteristics of the cultures of these groups in order to determine why different groups behave the way they do based not on their race but on their cultural backgrounds. They will identify their own values, stereotypes and prejudices and how these affect their perception of others.
Research shows that the more someone learns about other cultures the more they understand how to deal with people from that culture. Police officers will enhance their understanding of the minority cultures and values. The result will be to participate in the creation of a more harmonious environment where law enforcement is trusted to protect its citizens and where the citizens participate in “Community-oriented Policing.”

IMMIGRANT CULTURES-ORIENTED POLICING
The Missouri POST Program has approved this course for
4 CEUs - 2 Interpersonal Perspectives + 2 Technical Studies
One of the most fundamental responsibilities of law enforcement is to ensure public safety. To effectively serve immigrant communities and promote public safety for all city residents, police departments must better understand the specific challenges that immigrants face when interacting with law enforcement. Because all of us view the world through our “cultural lenses” imposed on us by society, the first and major step towards successful interactions between police and immigrants --whose lenses are different from those of the police-- is for both to become aware of the presence and the impact of these lenses in their daily attitudes and behaviors.

RELIGION CULTURES-ORIENTED POLICING
The Missouri POST Program has approved this course for
4 CEUs - 2 Interpersonal Perspectives + 2 Technical Studies
Religious beliefs and practices are often so embedded in humans that they do not leave room for the notion of flexibility or negotiation. Sometimes, a disagreement in the interpretation of religious teaching may be taken very personally. To effectively serve various religious communities and promote public safety for all residents in their jurisdictions, police officers need a better understanding of the major characteristics of various religions. The knowledge of specific challenges that various religious practitioners face when interacting with law enforcement as well as the basic knowledge of some of the various religious practices will allow officers to make decisions when interacting with citizens of various religions. This course uses real life examples to prepare law enforcement professionals to carefully determine where to draw the line when the laws and religious practices seem to be conflicting.

ROADMAP FROM BIAS TO IMPARTIAL POLICING
The Missouri POST Program has approved this course for
4 CEUs - 2 Interpersonal Perspectives + 2 Technical Studies
All of us hold biases. Most of us, regardless of our race, may hold racial biases. Each of us is part of several groups, defined by more than one cultural constructs. The descriptive differences between individuals form the origin of bias, stereotypes and prejudices leading to discrimination. This course identifies the stages of the development of bias, “implicit” or “explicit”, and analyzes research that prescribes the necessary steps and strategies for individuals to move from policing based on bias to bias-free, fair and impartial policing. Looking inwards in their own biases, participants identify which specific strategies from the “Developmental Model of Cultural Sensitivity” can allow them to overcome each of the stages of the development of biases.

The Missouri POST Program has approved this course for 4 CEUs:
2 hours Interpersonal: for fair and impartial policing practices, to include implicit bias recognition
2 hours Interpersonal: for tactical training to include de-escalation techniques, crisis management, critical thinking and social intelligence
Training law enforcement professionals in “de-escalation” tactics is not new. We all function on both rational and emotional levels. Emotions are at the heart of our energy, motivations, actions, and responses to our environment. Emotional responses –on both sides- are often at the heart of negative and sometimes tragic interpersonal interactions between law enforcement professionals and the citizens they protect and serve. This course intends to use the concept of emotional intelligence to reduce such situations of escalation. It will provide much needed skills for officers to de-escalate tense situations, and resolve issues with respect, empathy and compassion. You will learn about the specific aspects of emotional intelligence that are essential for your success in policing diverse communities. Most importantly, you will learn to determine how and when emotions lead citizens of various cultures to behave in unpredictable ways.

Course Description
Because race is the first and most visible cultural construct used to identify individuals, and because the society at large and law enforcement (LE) in particular have for century developed various racial biases, most escalation situations have to do with intercultural communications. Communication is at the heart of all positive and negative encounters. Police officers who develop proper de-escalation techniques and use them when appropriate, can also help reduce their stress level and improved job performance. This class will provide specific de-escalation tactics that will help officers deal with people from various races.

Behind every officer’s badge is a human being with a heart. Serving and protecting other humans require a wide variety of skills, especially when law enforcement professionals are increasingly having to deal with people from various cultural backgrounds, belief sets, and sometimes social values that conflict with officers’ standards. Officers can deal with all these differences only if they acquire the skills to relate and work effectively in culturally diverse situations and the capability to cross boundaries and prosper in multiple cultures. A deep knowledge of oneself and others becomes an essential requirement for success in de-escalation and crisis management.

D.A.R.E. AS PERFECT CATALYST FOR REDUCING RACIAL PROFILING
The Missouri POST Program has approved this course for 4 CEUs:
2 hours Interpersonal: for fair and impartial policing practices, to include implicit bias recognition
2 hours Interpersonal: for tactical training to include de-escalation techniques, crisis management, critical thinking and social intelligence
The cultural gap between law enforcement (LE) and the community that it is designed to protect and serve is increasingly widening under our sight. Multiple cultural misunderstandings between the community and LE often results in one side been offended in one way or another by the other side. Researchers are skeptical in the belief that this gap will be bridged and trust established between LE and the multicultural communities in our lifetime. One of our best hopes lies in the next generation respecting the services of LE. D.A.R.E puts officers in front of the youth when their minds are still malleable. Because these officers interact with young people in a peaceful, friendly and cordial ways, their impact on the youth must be invaluable.
This session equips D.A.R.E. professionals and educators with effective skills to help youngsters grow up with trust in LE. Additionally, participants will discuss the essentials of cultural understanding that will help them avoid unfortunate cultural encounters with young people of various cultural backgrounds. Most importantly, participants will discuss how D.A.R.E. can serve both law enforcement professionals and citizens as a catalyst for reducing overall racial profiling.
In the current state of lowest police-community trust throughout the Nation and the role that D.A.R.E. can play, if D.A.R.E. did not exist, it should be created!

RACIAL PROFILING COACHING
On-going One-on-One assistance in cultural diversity skill development (via phone or in person)
The inappropriate actions of ONE or a few employees can cost a law enforcement department its reputation, a lot of money in lawsuits, and destroy the trust between it and the community it is protecting and serving.
Most departments’ multimillion dollar lawsuits related to cultures and racial profiling are caused by ONE or a very small group of officers, not the entire department or division.
Educating the “bad apples” among your employees is like getting an important “insurance policy.”
One-On-One Racial Profiling Coaching is required in a variety of situations in all department regardless of their sizes. In general, we serve 3 categories of clients:
Law Enforcement departments requesting our coaching services usually:
1. Have an officer who is letting his/her attitude get in the way of performance;
2. Seek to increase their trust in the community they protect
3. Want to hire diverse staff but have difficulties doing so;
4. Have front office or reception staff who welcome or receive phone calls from citizens of diverse cultural backgrounds;
5. Would like to portray a community image that they are advocates of diversity;
6. Have employees who often make jokes that may be offensive to women, the elderly, the handicapped, and minority groups;
8. Have company leaders who want to be proactive rather than reactive to cultural situations that may lead their department to potential lawsuits;
9. Value their employees so much that they are willing to invest in them in order to retain them;
10. Seek to use an outside neutral expert to resolve cultural issues among employees before they get out of control.
Employees in businesses and organizations requesting our coaching services are usually:
1. Supervisors who do not know the right strategy to criticize or sanction an employee from another culture without been viewed as “racist.”
2. Managers who have been “wrongly” accused of being “racist”.
3. Leaders who are willing to be proactive rather than reactive to cultural situations that may lead to potential lawsuits.
4. Diversity managers preparing a cultural diversity and inclusion presentation and need a few well-suited activities, strategies, data, methods, or simply a different and effective approach to present information to their staff.
