Police Engagement Program® P.E.P.

Police Engagement Program® (P.E.P.)

​
An intimate discussion of some of today's "High Profile" Police involved cases and the effect they have had on the community.

During our Presentation We Discuss:

-De-escalation practices for officers and civilians.
-Building trust between Law Enforcement and the community we serve.
-Recognizing Implicit Bias  and Systemic Racism and how it effects policing and the success of police/community relations.
-Importance of Empathetic and Compassionate Law Enforcement.
-What we are doing as Law Enforcement to strengthen our relationship with the community.
-Recommended best practices for Civilian and Law Enforcement encounters.
Picture
Never has it been more important and more compelling for local law enforcement to positively engage with the community and to foster healthy partnerships. Anyone who watches the news with some regularity has witnessed the need for a united community firsthand.
The Stratford Police Department has created and implemented a Police Engagement Program® (P.E.P.) to best demonstrate stellar practices between the community and police while providing a platform to discuss racism, racial profiling and high profile brutality cases.
We know that consistent police engagement within our community builds trust, confidence and productive relationships. Through the Stratford Police Department’s Police Engagement Program® (P.E.P.) we have been conducting a series of P.E.P. talks discussing safe, healthy police engagement practices. 
We do this through open conversation and scenario role-play.  Our mission is to ensure the safety of our community.  We have been implementing our program in our schools as well as Colleges and Universities since January of 2018. We have also recently facilitated P.E.P. programs for church groups, civic and community organizations and have extended the scope of our program to include neighboring Towns and organizations within this state and beyond. ​
Senator Blumenthal recognizes the purpose and value of  the (P.E.P.) Police Engagement Program (R) as a tool to educate police and civilians on de-escalation techniques to diffuse potentially volatile situations – especially those involving young people, while creating a standardized protocol for safe, healthy police engagement.
