The Museum of Tolerance (MOT) currently presents 11 courses for law enforcement including Hate Crimes, Fair and Impartial Policing (Racial Profiling), and Cultural Diversity. The MOT also presents courses geared towards supervisors and command staff that focuses on effective supervision in a diverse workplace and community. Session six in the Sherman Block Supervisory Leadership Institute (SLI) is presented at the Museum and enhances relevant themes presented in previous SLI sessions by discussing the nexus between diversity and leadership in a historical and contemporary context.
POST uses the $444,000 to reimburse the travel and per-diem for personnel from local law enforcement (reimbursable) agencies.
The curriculum over the years has been continually updated to reflect contemporary concepts and address relevant community issues such as implied bias and procedural justice. Student evaluations continue to be positive and reflect that the MOT training has a profound impact on how they view diversity both in their agencies and in the communities they serve.
A breakdown of the cost for the Museum of Tolerance training program is contained in Attachment A.
This program is supported by POST Strategic Plan Strategy B.8.1, Ensuring instructor certification and training requirements in POST regulations are current and Objective D.1, Support law enforcement agencies in developing positive, durable, and collaborative relationships with their communities. |
