CRJS 103 - Police Human Relations


This training provides the student with a set of expectations about the interactions that her/she will have with the general public and the need to maintain high standards of personal and professional ethics. This training focuses on establishing effective police and community relations, understanding the human relations dimensions to police and citizen encounters, and establishing an effective personal and professional code of conduct. Collectively, these topics address the qualitative dimensions of police and citizen interaction.

This training anticipates that police students will need to continually assess their interactions with the public. By developing an understanding of the interactional process and the values and ethics that guide police and citizen behaviors, the police student will be in a better position to evaluate these encounters and reduce the potential for conflict.
