Gary Klugiewicz, a nationally-recognized law enforcement trainer, will be leading the webinars and will be joined by other experts from throughout the US. Klugiewicz said, “Events in Ferguson, MO and elsewhere have exposed a raw nerve and, now, strained relations between citizens and police are threatening people’s safety. My colleagues, after more three decades of dealing with such issues, and myself felt an obligation to try to help. We decided that hosting a regular webinar was the best outlet to share our experiences and expertise.”
These webinars will:
•Analyze use-of-force incidents covered by the media
•Provide training on non-escalation and de-escalation tactics that can be used by both police and citizens
•Emphasize the critical importance of treating people with dignity by showing them respect
•Examine the role of empathy — viewing the world through the eyes of others — as a foundational approach to understanding and resolving differences
•Present examples of successful police programs
With recent events, significant segments of the population feel they’re being treated unfairly and discriminated against – and police feel they’re being unduly judged for just doing their jobs. Such strained relations between citizens and police breeds distrust, anger and fear and must be addressed.
Vistelar, the sponsor of this webinar series, is a consulting and training organization based in Milwaukee, Wis. focused on addressing the entire spectrum of human conflict – and is the publisher of the Confidence In Conflict book series. Learn more at: http://vistelar.com.
