Webinar
Creating a Culture of Learning—After-Action Reviews
Hosted by the Justice Clearinghouse and funded by the National Police Foundation, this webinar will discuss the importance of action action reviews (AARs) to organizational learning as it evolves and helps strengthen responses in an increasingly complex operating environment. AARs can provide particularly objective observations, and evidence-based, actionable recommendations. By honestly reflecting on past experiences and analyzing AARs, organizations are better positioned to address emerging challenges, incorporate promising practices, and work collaboratively to evolve and prepare for future events. This webinar will review steps for conducting AAR and will discuss some of the more pervasive lessons learned from recent mass-violence attacks and mass demonstrations, including the summer 2020 protests and the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol.
When: Wednesday, May 5, 2021
Time: 3:00 p.m. – 4:15 p.m., ET
