Improving Police Practices

In the United States we have an intractable tension between safety and liberty that comes to a head in modern American policing. In December 2014, the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing cited Training and Education as one of six pillars of transformed law enforcement. The Task Force suggests that the trainings and educational opportunities be cross-disciplinary: “By interacting with a more diverse group of professionals, police can establish a valuable network of contacts whose knowledge and skills differ from but complement their own.”

DAYLIGHT brings together law enforcement, lawyers, teachers, social scientists, community activists, coaches and criminal justice experts to provide cross-disciplinary and interactive educational experiences to address many of the most pressing issues in law enforcement.

The professionals at DAYLIGHT have drawn upon decades of research and a team of experts to create several training programs that address the criminal justice system’s most intractable challenges.  In the current atmosphere where law enforcement is expected to ameliorate many of society’s ills yet faces mounting scrutiny from media and community groups, these training programs provide nuts and bolts guidance on how to improve the policing of our communities. DAYLIGHT trainings promote officer safety, community relationships and general public goodwill toward law enforcement.
