9. Review recommendation of the NPPRRC: All new police officers who have not successfully completed Police Academy should be enrolled in a program akin to the Dutchess County Law Enforcement Academy, which subscribes to an updated training program that is diversified with culturally responsive training with an inclusive & holistic approach for modern day law enforcement practices. Dutchess County Training for law enforcement officers is collaboratively working in the context and guidance of President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing (dated May 2015) as are other departments around the state in response to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s Executive Order No. 203. Unlike current practices of engagements, the 21st century police consists of a robust training program that requires prospective police officers to identify, examine and address their own internalized implicit and explicit biases. The 21st century policing promotes and requires effective police engagements with the community; which will allow for positive relationships to develop. Police officers will learn how to effectively listen and communicate with all community members and learn to demonstrate empathy. Policing in the 21st century will build community trust, legitimacy and transparency and accountability. We believe this training model will foster the professional development of our Ideal Officer.
10. Review recommendation of the NPPRRC: All police personnel and New Paltz Justices receive Motivational Interviewing training; preferably under the instruction of the Varalli Group.
