SKU: 9616

Justice-based policing is a policing philosophy where discretionary enforcement decisions are made, not strictly upon what the letter of law is, but rather on what is the best, most fair decision for all parties involved.

Throughout this course we will look at the principles of procedural justice and the four tenets that encompass it. We will consider creating some internal guidelines and how those can assist you with Fair and Impartial Decision Making (FIDM), as well as review the F.A.I.R. acronym and how to put it into practice while performing duties and responding to calls for service.
