Best Practices in Community Conscious Policing by Wilkes Angela

Real Life, Real Talk, Real Change

The polarization of law enforcement and community members deepens as our nation continues to erupt into national protests. Trust has been broken and communities feel unsafe. We know the problem. The question is, What is the solution?

Community Conscious Policing is a curriculum that we designed and implemented alongside the FBI National Academy Associates Inc., sworn police trainers and thousands of diverse community participants. Training 4 Transformation (T4T) is a community-led organization that trains law enforcement alongside the people they serve.

Our model is a Culturally Responsive, Healing-Centered approach to public involvement based on T4T's 21st Century Conscious Leadership principles. They include Emotional Intelligence, Experiential Learning, Mindfulness and Healing Justice best practices that transcend traditional barriers.

Training 4 Transformation is a pioneer of Police-Community Integrated Training and Education (P-CITE). These Best Practices are designed to augment and enhance existing continuing education for law enforcement, students in criminal and social justice related fields, advocates involved in police accountability and organizations seeking to increase their outreach capacity through collaboration with local law enforcement agencies.
