Policing with Procedural Justice

Procedural justice is critical for achieving legitimacy with the community. The 8-hour Policing with Procedural Justice course teaches students the fundamentals of procedural justice and how to implement it during day-to-day policing tasks. The information is critical for policing in modern society and maintaining legitimacy with the community.

The phrases “procedural justice” and “police legitimacy” are frequently referenced during discussions of improving police-community relations. These concepts are certainly a pillar of strong police-community relations, but how does the patrol officer implement them?

Many police courses will instruct officers to use more procedural justice or increase legitimacy without actually teaching them what that means. The academic community has been researching these concepts for many years and has distilled abstract concepts into actionable steps officers can take to increase procedural justice and thereby foster legitimacy.

The 8-hour course reviews these concepts along with the framework of institutional legitimacy as a way for officers to understand the foundation of strong police-community relations, reviewing common policing tasks and offering steps to improve them with procedural justice.
