The Rockville City Police Department is offering a free Fair and Impartial Policing training for community members who would like to understand more about bias-free behavior in community policing. This event will be held on Saturday, September 9, 2023 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Social Hall at the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre. Light refreshments will be served.
This training will give community members the tools needed to better communicate with police officers so that community members and police can work together and make their community safer and more resilient. An FIP national instructor will lead a roundtable discussion session specifically designed for community members, 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?
