The Rockville City Police Department is offering free Fair and Impartial Policing training for community members in September.
Community members are encouraged to participate in this important training, which promotes bias-free behavior in community policing. The training gives officers and community members tools to better communicate and work together to make the community safer and more resilient.
The training will be held from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9 in the social hall of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre at Rockville Civic Center Park, 603 Edmonston Drive.
An FIP national instructor will lead a roundtable discussion covering the following topics:
- What is implicit bias? Participants will learn about the modern science of bias and prejudice, including implicit bias.
- How might implicit bias manifest in police and in community members?
- What can individuals and agencies do to promote bias-free behavior? Participants will learn skills for reducing and managing bias.
- What is RCPD doing to promote fair and impartial policing?
This training is open to Rockville residents only. Light refreshments will be served.
