Assessing needs means reviewing completed training and performance requirements driven by the department's mission to identify gaps.
Based on an identified need, the next step will be to participate in or convene stakeholder meetings to identify major issues, and solicit suggestions for change using small group intervention or other intervention techniques that work well with assessing performance needs.
There will be a review and assessment of the relevancy of instructional content against current performance needs and best practices. We then suggest updates to enhance or remove outdated content to ensure instruction aligns with needs assessment findings.
The goal is to create content where the learner is at the center, create learning objectives and instructional content based on best practices and research, and identifying the most appropriate learning modalities for learner engagement.
Team consultants are practitioners, experienced presenters who have taught in the local, state and federal sectors, who in some cases have testified as expert witnesses, and who are available for contract to teach classes developed by contract for academy or in-service instruction.

Leadership Course
“It would be interesting to see a cultural survey of how minorities feel about the police and what they think police could do to safely interact with them. You can never learn enough about diversity and how to fairly treat others”.
“Was nice to see a fresh view of some current issues. Very insightful.”
Understanding and Modeling Sensitivity Course - Feedback
I appreciated the discussion on cultural competence. I think everyone has room to grow in this area, and it was good to have a candid discussion about what it means to understand yourself, and where other people are coming from, when interacting with members of the community.
I think the course was fantastic. It was much more than what I expected, and more engaging / useful than other sensitivity training that I've been a part of.
Leading People-Managing Insensitivity
"One officer said that he was a little apprehensive going in but thoroughly enjoyed the subject matter and discussion."
