Insight policing is a community-based, problem-solving policing strategy that integrates conflict resolution and communication skills with policing skills to help reduce retaliatory violence and enhance police legitimacy in the moment of enforcement. Insight policing empowers officers to effectively de-escalate conflict behavior to ultimately facilitate feasible alternatives to use of force and build civilian trust. It was developed as a practical response to the challenges police face stemming from retaliatory violence and community noncooperation.
The purpose of this webinar is to provide law enforcement officials with an overview of the Insight Policing training program available from George Mason University that teaches officers to apply insight policing skills to identify, understand, and defuse escalating conflict behavior and increase cooperation and trust among community members. In addition, a law enforcement practitioner will share lessons learned and experiences with implementing insight policing strategies.
The speakers for this webinar are:
- Ms. Megan Price, Director, Insight Conflict Resolution Program, George Mason University
- Lieutenant Tyrone Williams, Montclair, New Jersey, Police Department
There is no registration fee or cost to participate in the webinar.
