Webinar
Humanizing Policing
To be effective, patrol officers must help build confidence that they are dedicated to promoting safety in their communities. Many agencies invest in training that emphasizes understanding cultural diversity, communication skills that help de-escalate, or field-level decision making that promotes fair and impartial policing. Training frontline staff on these topics helps build individual competency and improve the legitimacy of the police. The eight steps for humanizing policing described in this no-cost webinar, sponsored by the International Association of Law Enforcement Planners, will help agencies build an organizational infrastructure that reinforces skills and concepts in police training and reform.

Justice News
National Nursing Home Initiative
“The Department of Justice has a long history of holding nursing homes and long-term care providers accountable when they fail to provide their Medicare and Medicaid residents with even the most basic nursing services. Through this national initiative, we will more effectively and quickly pursue nursing homes that are jeopardizing the health and well-being of their residents.” —Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt for the Civil Division
The U.S. Department of Justice announced that it has launched a National Nursing Home Initiative, which will coordinate and enhance civil and criminal efforts to investigate nursing homes that provide grossly substandard care to their residents. This initiative is focusing on some of the worst nursing homes around the country, and the department has initiated investigations into approximately 30 individual nursing facilities in nine states as part of this effort.
