Training Beyond the Department

SCI and The Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities (AIPG) hosted a webinar to discuss vital law enforcement programs outside of the department. The discussion addressed things that are not typically incorporated in police training, including civil and human rights protection education, the social psychology of perpetrators of identity-based violence, the specific realities of policing in traumatized communities, and working with civilian oversight mechanisms.

The webinar featured SCI Director Dr. Erroll Southers, Dr. James Waller, Peter McBride, Sharon Fairley, and LAPD Capt. Aaron Ponce, and was moderated by SCI Associate Director Jessie Redd. Watch the full video below.
