Modern Law Enforcement Training based on Four Classic Psychological Experiments
Get PDFPsychology as a discipline is alive and well. Psychology is so much more than just therapy or research with rats. Psychological science is applied to real life in a myriad of ways every day. One excellent example is the use of four classic psychological experiments as a foundation for the Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement (ABLE) training curriculum. This contemporary police training program seeks to reduce harm and improve the national law enforcement culture. The four classic psychological science experiments that are used in this evidence-informed curriculum include Diffusion of Responsibility from Darley and Latane’, the Seminary Experiment from Darley and Batson, Obedience to Authority from Milgram, and the Power of the Bystander from Staub. A succinct review is provided for each of these experiments. Then, their utilization within the ABLE curriculum is presented. The implementation and progress of the ABLE program is cited as an example of the impact of classic psychological research on modern law enforcement training. This article documents that psychological science experiments are currently used in real-world educational programs. Despite the fact that these classic experiments were conducted 50 years ago, they continue to impact and influence individuals and training in the 21st century

COVID reboot: making a case for cultural change to increase employee engagement
Get PDFWhen traveling around the country, you will notice that many small businesses have closed, in many instances due to the COVID-19 pandemic. According to a recent study by economists at the Federal Reserve, 200,000 U.S. business establishments shut their doors during the first year of the pandemic in addition to the 600,000 businesses per year that permanently closed. Many states have reported that 40% or more small businesses have closed in their state (Congressional Research Service, April 2020).
However, even more disturbing than the number of businesses closing is the difficulty in staffing positions across the country. The hospitality industry is especially hard hit, as well as personal service businesses such as barbershops and nail salons. In this paper, the author discusses the issue of hiring and retaining employees in the new post-COVID business environment and offers recommendations for rebuilding a culture of employee engagement

Crisis Deescalation: A Brief Review and Variations on a Model
No full textThe demand for changes in police responses to crises are loud and compelling. One such recommended change is from a Warrior mindset to a Guardian mindset. The emphasis in the Guardian philosophy is on law enforcement officers (LEOs) as protectors instead of fighters. This mindset emphasizes deescalation instead of the use of force whenever possible. Several deescalation courses existed but more have been created recently. This recent increase has been due, in part, to profiteers wanting to benefit from the change in philosophy and training. A brief history starting with the legend in deescalation, Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training, is presented along with some additional training courses. A quick outline of different responder models is also included. Finally, a multi-modal variation on deescalation training is proposed. Recommendations for research and future directions are discussed. This is not an exhaustive review of CIT, responder models, or deescalation training. This article provides a synopsis of models and research with a brief presentation of a new Multi-Modal Crisis Deescalation Training Program
Encounters Between the Elderly and Law Enforcement
Get PDFThe elderly population is growing dramatically throughout the world. Out of this growth comes an increase in the number of encounters between the aged and law enforcement. These encounters occur because of a variety of factors including mental illnesses and addictions. Furthermore, older adults may be victims as evidenced in different forms of abuse such as physical, emotional, or financial abuse. Sadly, some documentation exists that older adults are committing more crimes. Multiple reasons have been postulated for these crimes including poverty, jealousy, and boredom. All of these different situations with the aged have created an increase in the number of encounters between the elderly and law enforcement. Different programs exist that can be used to train law enforcement professionals to identify and help the elderly who are in need of assistance. Regardless of the program used, law enforcement can improve their ability to protect and serve this vulnerable and growing segment of the population. The elderly need the help of law enforcement and this need will continue to increase as the elderly population grows
