Community Policing – Improving Police Efficacy and Building Trust is a TUITION-FREE, 2.5-day Instructor Development Program (IDP) sponsored by the USDOJ, COPS Office and provided by the Virginia Center for Policing Innovation (VCPI). The core curriculum presented in this program challenges participants to consider community policing as a means of building trust and achieving the public safety mission by engaging the community in the shared responsibility of effective policing.

Participating trainers examine issues which contribute to a cycle of dysfunction that, left unchecked, can have devastating impacts on police practitioners, their agencies and communities. They explore strategies for facilitating important discussions regarding racial profiling–related policy issues, the ineffectiveness of racial profiling in enforcement activities, and the costly impact of racial profiling (real or perceived) on the community. The core curriculum encourages participants to develop and employ more functional patrol techniques that increase cooperation from community members, increase efficiency in arrests and seizure activity, and decrease liability associated with complaints.

Participating trainers will have online access to comprehensive curriculum resources including instructional materials, lesson plans, and multimedia presentations to utilize during their own, local training sessions with fellow officers.
