The following bullet points are the recommendations for POST training extracted from the 2021 RIPA Report:

•Use the data and analysis from the RIPA reports to examine the disparities between racial and identity groups and identify topic areas of concern for future course development.

•Use actual footage of law enforcement encounters in lieu of scripted scenarios.

•Provide training tools and techniques that emphasize community member perspectives during officer encounters.

•Provide courses on officer peer behavior accountability. Officers should be trained how and when to report incidents to their supervisor and be assured they will not be harassed, ridiculed, or retaliated against.

•Provide training courses aimed at deeper discussions regarding; 1) possible officer bias that leads to a stop, how the situation evolves during the stop, and how negative outcomes can be prevented; 2) community perceptions of consent and the behavior or event that turns consent into detention; 3) parole and probation stops and searches; and 4) verbal and non-verbal communication during a stop to prevent escalation.

•Connect recruit academy training with field training and determine how implicit bias and racial and identity profiling and cultural awareness training are being applied.

•Ensure that Field Training Officers have received sufficient training in implicit bias, profiling, and cultural awareness to perform their job fairly and equitably.

•Make the Principled Policing Course, which includes a community presenter component, mandatory for all officers.

•Provide in-service officer racial and identity and cultural awareness training more frequently than two hours every five years.
