Addressing the Urgent Need for Multi-Dimensional Training in Law Enforcement (Ce ARTICLE: I CE Credit) (Report‪)‬

ABSTRACT The law enforcement community is not immune from the base predispositions that adversely affect life in all societies. They are wounded in all human dimensions. Historically, law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve have Failed to cultivate the skills, attitudes and practices that would help their officers thrive as whole persons. Despite the obvious and well documented problems that plague law enforcement, training has not evolved to at minimum mitigate and at best eliminate maladaptive behaviors normalized by the law enforcement culture. This article reflects upon the urgent need for multi-dimensional training in law enforcement so that officers may thrive throughout their vocational careers and beyond.
