The Hampden County, Massachusetts Sheriff's Department requested training in the Speed of Trust Train the Trainer program content. The request is to have staff trained to implement Speed of Trust concepts to 70 of our uniformed supervisors. This would include facilitator materials, certification, participant materials, shipping, and travel. This request was postponed until BJA NTTAC Option Year 3.
There currently is a prevailing spirit of mistrust of the Criminal Justice System among the citizenry we are sworn to serve and protect. Media, in all its forms are rife with examples of ethical, moral, and sometimes legal violations committed by those in service to the public. The Hampden County Sheriff’s Department serves to be an example to our profession by upholding and maintaining the trust and accountability due our incarcerated population and the public at large. Building trust and credibility is at the core of all rehabilitation. The focus of our request is preventative rather than corrective. The Hampden County Sheriff’s Department is seeking to be proactive with regard to internal culture. Trust must be developed and maintained within an agency before we can extend it to our populace.
