RPC: Racial Profiling Conversations (RPC)
What is RPC?
RPC is an on-going critical learning opportunity that supplements group training in a hopeful rather that fearful setting. RPC create opportunity for law enforcement professionals to increase their intercultural competency and comfort when dealing with difficult interactions with minority groups.
Why RPC?
At the beginning of my racial profiling classes, participants write down on index cards the questions they have about the course. The complexity and the number of issue raised usually do not allow participants the time to converse on their concerns during the class. RPC was created to serve as an opportunity to dialogue and provide answer to these questions. It serves as a reinforcement and on-going discussion for various courses already designed, approved by POST Program and taught.
It is evident that one-time training session with a large group cannot suffice to provide answers to individual questions or prepare them to the challenges they face daily. In that regard, RPC supplements group training on an on-going basis.
While POST credits are available for RPC, the conversation option is more about preparing your officers to better interact with multicultural communities by fully participating in discussing concerns that they or their peers brought up at trainings. It truly hurts me to see officers walk out of training sessions with unanswered questions we did not have the time to get to. Liability is greater when an officer can voice a concern or imagine himself/herself in a situation but does not know how s/he would handle it.

- Bite-sized racial profiling conversations that can be applied to real time, day-to-day interactions with citizens of other cultures
- Preparing officers to discuss best practices: “What to do” and “How to do it” in challenging cultural situations.
- Turning racial profiling learning from a program into a process by keeping the conversation and application alive.
Sample Racial Profiling Conversation
RPC850A: Understanding the Impact of Biases in us
The Missouri POST Program has approved this course for 1 CEU Interpersonal Perspectives.
All of us hold biases. Most of us, regardless of our race, hold racial biases for or against another race. This conversational class is designed to briefly introduce the notion of biases in humans, identify the different types of biases, “implicit” or “explicit”, and how they impact the individual including the police officer. This course is designed to enhance participants understanding of biases through the responses of questions (related to biases) that law enforcement professionals have asked in previous classes.
