| Sexual Harassment Prevention – Law Enforcement – NEW! | Police service is an industry at high risk for sexual harassment and misconduct: a quasi-military, traditionally male-dominated structure confronting the realities of changing demographics, but also a profession in which most employees are vested with a great deal of authority and responsibility.

This course provides you with the information needed to spot and address incidents of sexual harassment in your police department. The problem is not solved simply with awareness. Take the information presented in this course and make meaningful changes to policy, member behavior, and department culture. | 1h |
