Managing Bias Strategies for Law Enforcement

Virtual Location - You will receive a link via email to the training
Managing Bias Strategies for Law Enforcement (MB) is a training course designed for law enforcement, provided by CNA’s Center for Justice Research and Innovation and funded by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office). The Managing Bias Strategies training course offers practical, evidence-based strategies for law enforcement professionals that minimize harm and promote fairness, equity, and respect among officers and the communities they serve. This training introduces a series of tools and practices designed to enhance law enforcement’s professional capacity to reduce the impact of biases in their own lives, in their organization, and in their interactions with the community.
During the training, participants will deepen their understanding of relevant key terms and concepts; identify assumptions, perceptions, and perspectives related to identity, culture, and discrimination; and discuss how these concepts intersect with their policing practices. The training provides a conceptual framework and equips participants with tools to enhance interpersonal and community relationships.
MID-Level Narcotics Investigation
April 28-29, 2025 @ 08:00-16:00 (Registration @ 0730) - Registration Link
Bennington County Sheriff's Department - 811 US Route 7 South Bennington, VT 05201
Cost: Free
Basic narcotic training courses focus on drug identification, types of informants, operational planning, and search warrant execution. Advanced narcotic training courses focus on drug cartels, money laundering, complex conspiracy investigations, and interstate/international wiretap cases. While these two types of training programs are a necessary part of drug enforcement, there is a considerable gap in the training available to law enforcement officers that target mid-level drug dealers. This training course will teach officers how to identify, target, infiltrate, and prosecute drug organizations that go undetected. Concepts utilized by federal agencies to dismantle interstate narcotic traffickers will be presented to show how the same concepts can be utilized by local and state police officers to dismantle narcotic dealers flooding communities with drugs.
This training curriculum was developed to target mid-level drug dealers using all available resources including both state and federal narcotic and firearm laws. All the material presented in this course is based solely on methods and techniques that have infiltrated numerous mid-level drug groups and know how to attack every aspect of the group to dismantle the entire organization.

Being a woman in the profession of law enforcement is different, whether people want to admit that or not. This course will explore the stigmas of women in policing and how we must take ownership to break those stigmas.
Valor & Virtue explores the gender-specific struggles of women in law enforcement, how to adapt and overcome them, and ultimately how to succeed. There is also a portion focusing on the rights of women and men under the Family Leave Act for pregnancy and maternity related medical conditions or to care for a family member.
A growth mindset way of policing is exemplified through case studies with an emphasis on training, accountability, and resiliency.
