Introduction to Bias: The first module examines bias in making stops, engaging with citizens, dealing with the biases of the public (including against police), and the citizen's perspective. A focus on bias in policing is essential to earn public trust afforded to law enforcement and to ensure that you can do your job efficiently and effectively. Bias is universal; all human beings have biases. Unintentional bias is just as damaging as conscious bias, but once identified, it is easy to end. It is important that officers don't match bias for bias when interacting with the public. Research indicates that biased policing make police less efficient and effective.

Bias Exercise: In the second module, officers go through an interactive pullover involving a decision tree where choices are not all right or wrong. Then, they repeat the exercise with different citizens involved in the same decision tree. Users will discover and discuss how the different demographics of the drivers may lead to different decisions. As a police officer, you are expected to identify your own biases, recognize how they may affect your decision making, and perform your duty with equal application of the law.

Bias in the Station: The third module addresses how biases in the station can reach the street, working alongside officers from other demographic groups, and how to correct or discipline a biased officer dispute the bonds of police work that allow for some levity. Bias isn't only expressed through interactions with the public, it can also be expressed in the station. Officers must be held to a higher standard of ethics than perhaps anyone else in society and proactively confront bias in the station. Working to reduce bias in policing includes honoring the core values of your organization—the foundation of fairness and mutual respect. Humor is a wonderful part of life, including life at work. However, use your brain and your values.
