This training was delivered in collaboration with the Collaborative Reform Initiative Technical Assistance Center. The Take Action: Make the R.I.G.H.T. Choice and Intervene training is an eight-hour instructor-led course designed to teach, encourage, and empower law enforcement personnel to actively intervene when needed to prevent colleagues from committing policy or procedure mistakes or unprofessional, unethical, or criminal conduct. Officers will learn the powerful influence that every officer, regardless of rank, can have on a colleague’s conduct and behavior.

Through focus groups with students from three HBCUs, the BJA Advancing Service-oriented Policing through Inclusion, Relationship-building, & Engagement (ASPIRE) project identified barriers students experience to entering a career in policing. Speakers will discuss challenges police agencies should consider when designing recruitment efforts to attract a more diverse workforce. These include students’ safety concerns, general negative perceptions of police, perceived police corruption and unfair treatment of black and brown communities, and lack of diverse police role models.

The objective of this project are two-fold: (1) to create a pilot program to establish a rigorous academic-based training model that can be used nationwide for the rapid analysis of suspected illicit drugs seized in the field and (2) to provide training to law enforcement officers on methods to conduct rapid testing on suspected drugs encountered in the field; how to properly collect, document, and store evidence; and risk mitigation strategies focused on officer safety.
