In this self-paced course, officers learn about concepts and challenges relating to recidivism and people experiencing homelessness with the goal of better serving these individuals. Lectures, self-reflection, and videos assist officers in developing more understanding of their community.
After completing this course, officers will be able to:
- explain various issues people experiencing homelessness face;
- summarize best practices of law enforcement responses to people experiencing poverty and homelessness and how they can better serve these individuals;
- describe the experience a formerly incarcerated person faces to include challenges and available support; and
- identify a law enforcement officer’s role in reentry and recidivism.
