Policing the Modern Community

SPECIAL FREE WEBINAR

Policing the Modern Community
with Paul McKenna of Dalhousie University

Thursday, August 4 | 12 pm ET

Police boards and services are grappling with the impact of a diverse and changing community on their ability to provide public safety. We have no choice but to recognize the importance of evidence-based research methods in the examination of the challenges facing the modern community, especially from a policing perspective. 

This special complimentary session will help attendees deepen their understanding of modern policing, learn effective ways to meet the challenges associated with diversity and difference in the modern community, explore contemporary, and future models of public safety and security, and dive into more collaborative community safety and security models.

Join Dalhousie University, Professor Paul F. McKenna, as he explores these issues in greater depth. Attendees can expect to leave this session with a number of tools and resources that they can apply to their own boards, commissions and services.
