• Knowledge of how and why the police have developed over time and the critical need for maintaining police-community relations in a democratic society.
• Discuss what is really meant by community-oriented policing and its relevancy with regard to police community relations.
• Identify the common sources of conflict that the police need to understand and cope with.
• Define what is meant by Emotional Intelligence and how it can be developed and enhanced.
• Describe what is meant by Humanistic Policing, a concept that takes the police beyond the limits of community-oriented policing.
• Identify the tactics of conflict management that can be employed by the police.
• Discuss the perspectives of the African American community and what the police can do to build better relationships with people of color.
