New Law Enforcement Online Training: Ethical Decision Making and Interacting with Special Populations

April 16, 2024 4 min read

In the course of their duties, law enforcement officers interact with people with a variety of backgrounds and life experiences. Successfully communicating with and serving these populations requires officers to have the knowledge and training to handle sensitive situations with care, professionalism, and tact.

To support this need and best serve our law enforcement partners, Vector Solutions is excited to announce the release of four new law enforcement online training courses focused on interacting with special populations, ethical decision making, and sexual assault investigations.

Each course was created in partnership with subject matter experts and is designed to engage and educate participants through an interactive multimedia experience.

New Courses

Interactions with individuals with disabilities (1 hour).

People with disabilities may move, behave, or speak differently from what first responders may expect. This can result in first responders assuming that the person is intoxicated or uncooperative instead of considering if they may have a disability. This interactive online course will provide you with effective methods of engaging with individuals who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities during emergency response situations.

Addressing various disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, Down syndrome, and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, this course offers insights into recognizing signs, understanding behaviors, and employing specialized approaches for these individuals. You will learn to navigate potential communication barriers, assess situations calmly, and tactically reposition yourself to ensure a non-threatening and appropriate response, enhancing your ability to serve the diverse needs of individuals with disabilities.

In this course, law enforcement officers will learn how to:

• Navigate potential communication barriers
• Tactically reposition yourself to ensure a non-threatening and appropriate response
• How to enhance your ability to serve the diverse needs of individuals with

Sexual Assault Investigations (1 Hour)

The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network reports that a sexual assault occurs in the United States every 68 seconds. In addition, it is reported that every 9 minutes, it involves a child, with only 25 out of every 1,000 perpetrators ending up in prison.

This interactive online course provides crucial insights for law enforcement officers dealing with sexual assault investigations, addressing the pressing need to prevent compromises in evidence, knowledge gaps, and inadequate report writing.

In this course, law enforcement officers will learn about:

• The significance of conducting unbiased investigations
• The importance of evidence preservation
• The pivotal role of victim advocates
• The role of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners
• How to enhance your understanding and effectiveness in combating sexual assault and ensure justice for survivors

Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder for First Responders (1 Hour)

In the US, it is estimated that 1 in 36 children have autism and 1 in 45 adults have autism. This interactive online course is designed to equip first responders with crucial insights into Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) to facilitate safer and more effective interactions.

The course focuses on identifying ASD traits, understanding associated mental and physical issues that may coexist, and addressing potential difficulties in communication and behavior. It provides tools and approaches to navigate encounters with individuals with ASD in various public safety roles.

• Recognize signs of ASD
• How to approach situations calmly and tactically reposition yourself to ensure appropriate and non-threatening interactions
• The History of ASD and current issues
• How ASD impacts first responders

Ethical Decision Making for Law Enforcement (1 Hour)

This course explores the importance of ethics and ethical decision-making for law enforcement officers. It acknowledges the challenges officers face in navigating complex situations where the “right” decision may not always be clear. The course discusses the internal and external factors that motivate officers to behave ethically and emphasizes the significance of public perception and trust in law enforcement agencies.

Through the analysis of scenarios, case studies, and topics that influence ethical decision-making, participants will develop a deeper understanding of ethics in the context of law enforcement.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to define ethics, discuss decision-making models, analyze the impact of truthfulness in law enforcement, examine various ethical dilemmas, and explore other factors that shape ethical decision-making.

• Decision-making models
• The impact of truthfulness in law enforcement
• Various ethical dilemmas
• Other factors that shape ethical decision making

About This Course

This course, Law Enforcement Investigations of Human Trafficking Crimes, examines the role and importance of law enforcement in the fight against human trafficking. The resources available to law enforcement to fight human trafficking will be examined.

These programs are not eligible for Federal Student Aid, military tuition assistance, VA funding or Learning Partner discounts.

Additional Course Information

This course is part of a three course certificate program. It can be taken separately or as part of the CEU certificate program.

Upon completion of all three courses in this certificate program, students will earn a certificate that shows successful completion of the Human Trafficking Investigation CE certificate.

This CEU certificate program contains three courses, which include:

• CE 1202: Human Trafficking Awareness

• Students may request a course extension if the course is not completed within the allotted 10 week time frame. Extension options are available, with associated, non-refundable processing fees. Students who do not complete the course with a 70% or higher within the allotted 10 weeks and do not request a course extension will be removed from the course. Back to duration

Fairmont State ceases entry-level police cadet training, pivots to officer leadership programs

Apr. 20—FAIRMONT — Fairmont State University will pivot from producing new police to enhancing the career skills of law enforcement officers who need next level training.

The school made the announcement on Friday at a press conference in Hardaway Hall. The change will start with the 2024-25 school year.

"We're heading in the direction of providing in-service and continuing education to law enforcement professionals around the state," Diana Phillips, provost and vice president of academic affairs, said. "This is in response to our relationships with different municipalities and the things that we've learned in running the police academy over the last year and a half."

The first course the revamped academy will offer is a 16 hour leadership course. Phillips said this course prepares West Virginia police officers for greater responsibilities at law enforcement agencies by enhancing the leadership skills of police who are in management. Other class offerings will be developed through discussion with law enforcement agencies across the state.

"It is critical that we identify the changing needs of law enforcement in West Virginia so we can meet those needs," Phillips said.

Among the areas that classes could be developed on are crime mapping, victimology, report writing and others. Remedial academic programs will also be offered to police officers who need it.

Phillips said the school's law enforcement academy will head in the direction of continuing education for the next couple of years. The courses are meant to provide existing police officers a path to improve their career skills rather than fill any skills shortage across the state.

"The reason it was recommended by the leadership of the police academy is because it is what we call in higher ed, 'just in time' learning," Phillips said. "A need can be identified, as long as it is in the realm of law enforcement. Our very experienced instructors can stand up that course in a short period of time. So it's quick, it's just in time and is responsive to needs of law enforcement from around the state."

According to the Fairmont State website, the university has already offered a "Police Leadership Development Program" on March 7-8 this year for officers ranked at sergeant or above. The $300 class "fulfills WV certification requirements" and includes two lunch tickets and overnight accommodations in Pence Hall upon request. The same class is being offered May 29 & 30 and August 15 & 16.

There is a current shortage of law enforcement officers across the state. Phillips said the hope was that the Academy's course pivot wouldn't exacerbate the shortage, but that the school would continuously reassess to meet the needs of law enforcement. Offering both basic training and continuing education at the same time might be a possibility in the future, but for now the immediate need was for short term training.

Philips did not answer one way or the other if the school did not have the resources to offer both the basic police and continuing education programs simultaneously.

"I would never say something like that," she said.

Fairmont Police Chief Steve Shine said continuing education is important for a police officer's career, but cautioned that the curriculum must include good training and learning. According to Shine, good training is relevant, helpful for morale and welfare, is a wise investment and positively affects behavior and performance at work.

"Bad training is worse than no training," Shine said. "Learning principles contrary to contemporary policing and impracticalities is counterproductive to law enforcement."

Jim Nolan is a sociology professor at WVU and 13-year veteran of the Wilmington, Delaware Police Department as well as former chief of the FBI's Crime Analysis, Research and Development Unit. He said it's important that continuing education programs not perpetuate problematic notions like the thin blue line, which encourages the notion that police are separate from the community and that what goes on behind the blue wall is a necessary evil in order to deal with the hardcore issues in society.

Last December, a watchdog found that instructors at a police training conference in Atlantic City taught lessons that glorified violence, encouraged insubordination and promoted unconstitutional policing tactics. Speakers also disparaged women, people of color and other marginalized groups. The report issued by the Police Accountability Project said it undermined a decade of police reform.

"Good police training is something that's more transparent, there's no thin blue line," Nolan said. "There's only the police in the community knowledgeable of what each other is doing and working together to prevent and solve crimes together."

Nolan said it's a good thing Fairmont State is offering the continuing education because it means the training is housed at a university and not a casino that treats training more like a junket complete with gambling and booze.

Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, said continuing education for the law enforcement field is not unique, other professions such as doctors and lawyers have similar programs. Like any other profession, how law enforcement is practiced changes throughout a career.

"Laws themselves change over time," Johnson said. "The state legislature may enact different laws or repeal other laws. Court cases may come then change laws or declare certain laws unconstitutional or may provide guidance as to how a law should be enforced.

"With police work, for example, when you need or don't need a warrant."

Societal or cultural changes also impact policing, as do improvements in the scientific aspects of the job. Johnson said that during COVID, police officers had to consider new cultural, political and societal responses because society itself as a whole changed.

It's vital, Johnson said, to consider what the appropriate response is because police are responsible for safeguarding people's rights. Therefore, police must consider context when it comes to the performance of their jobs.

"It's vital for the men and women who are out on the street, who are supposed to be enforcing the laws, but they're also required to enforce it in a constitutional manner," Johnson said. "It's vitally important they receive training throughout their career."

This applies to more than just arresting criminals and enforcing statutes. Police must also know the most appropriate ways to work with victims to achieve justice. Johnson said the modern approach to victim advocacy began in the '80s, when advocates emphasized victim impact statements and protecting women and children from domestic abuse.

Previously, police viewed the issue as a private matter, one to be kept behind closed doors.

"Society was changing in the sense of its responses to certain crimes based on what victims were experiencing and talking about," Johnson said. "Those changes then have to be reflected with the police response. The men and women who are to be officers need to be trained on them."

Mysteries of the 2024 NFL Draft, grading past first-round QBs | Zero Blitz

Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab join forces to get their final thoughts on the 2024 NFL Draft in before it all kicks off on Thursday night. The duo start with the Denver Broncos' new uniforms and Fitz' strong thoughts on Arena football. There's a lot of hype around the quarterbacks in this year's draft, but Fitz and Frank provide a reality check by grading every first-round quarterback selected between 2018 and 2022, assigning only 3 As and 7 Fs (and having a very real conversation around Justin Herbert's grade). There are still a few big question marks in this year's draft that will have big ramifications, so Fitz and Frank go detective mode and discuss what the Washington Commanders will do at 2, the New England Patriots at 3, whether or not Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix will make it past Denver, the Minnesota Vikings and Las Vegas Raiders in the middle of the first round and if the Dallas Cowboys will make a move to address their biggest hole. The dynamic duo finish off the show by snake drafting the biggest draft busts of all time.
