All organizations in the democratic world, including the police, exist because of public consent. The foundation of that consent is public trust. Trust is a precious and precarious thing. It is hard to earn, easy to lose, and difficult to rebuild. Public Order Policing depends on effective, reliable, professional, and unbiased policing. This requires the development of evidence-based specialized training, specialized equipment, customized environmental scanning that goes beyond current crime‐focused geographic data analysis, and a lead role given to Public Order Policing specialists.

In this presentation, panelists will discuss how lessons learned helped shape and develop this evidence-based Public Order Policing training. The steps involved in implementing research and best practices to create sustainable and functional training that enables officers to meet the needs of their job tasks and how to engage local, state, federal, and international law enforcement partners, academia, professional organizations, and community-based organizations will be explored.
