Intro
All people, even well-intentioned people have biases.
We’ll discuss various biases. We’ll explore what social science research
has taught us (implicit bias). Need to recognize our unconscious biases,
so we can implement UNbiased behavior
![Page 3: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Fair and Impartial Police Officers are more likely to Be effective at solving crimes and handling
disorder problems Stay safe and go home at the end of the shift. Enhance/promote trust on the part of the people
they serve.

[NS] Understanding the science of bias is critical to you as you fulfill your role as a supervisor …..
This training will help you to “supervise to promote fair and impartial policing” in yourself and in your subordinates
![Page 6: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Goals of the Training
Recognize our own human biases Understand how implicit biases can affect
perceptions and behavior Understand how biased policing impacts
community members and the department Reflect on the role effective supervisors have
in promoting fair and impartial policing
![Page 7: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
During this training
Relax: Leave your preconceived notions about “bias” training at the door. Our approach is different from
traditional training.
![Page 8: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
During this training
Reflect: Think about what it means to be an effective supervisor.…what you expect of yourself and
your officers.

Understanding Human Bias
![Page 12: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Fundamental Concepts of Human Bias Bias is a normal human attribute—even well-
intentioned people have biases Biases are often unconscious or “implicit” Implicit biases are sometimes incompatible with
our chosen beliefs and values Implicit biases can influence our actions Understanding how implicit bias can affect our
behavior is the first step to “overriding” implicit bias
![Page 14: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
To Understand Implicit Bias, We Need to Understand…. Whom we are most likely to pre-judge What determines the characteristics we
assign to them Whether we know when we are prejudging
people
![Page 15: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
To understand implicit bias:
Whom do we pre judge?We prejudge “ambiguous stimuli”
What determines the characteristics we attribute to them?Group stereotypes/biases
Do we know when we are doing this?Not always.
![Page 16: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What are bases on which people may be stereotyped (and treated differentially)? Income English language abilities Gender Age Religious affiliation Profession Sexual orientation, identity etc.
![Page 17: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Key Point of Role Play
Policing based on stereotypes is unsafe.
![Page 18: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Key Points of the “Blink” Response Recognize the “blink” response Replace it with objective (bias free)
judgments

Stereotyping and Human Bias
When we don’t know an individual, we assign a group characteristic to them
Often we do not know when we are impacted by biases (they can be unconscious or “implicit” biases)
Recognizing our biases allows us to override them—to engage in unbiased behavior.

Key Point:
Policing based on stereotypes is unsafe, ineffective, and unjust.

The “Bump” Study
Study: Experiencing an ambiguous “bump” from a stranger How did people interpret the bump by African
Americans versus the bump by Whites? Result: The “bump” was perceived as more
threatening when performed by an African American. Replicated to show this was true for both White and
non-White “victims”/subjects.

Other Object: Crime Irrelevant
![Page 30: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Hypotheses
If the Black-crime association impacts our visual perception, then: Participants primed with Black male faces
should be faster to identify crime-relevant objects than those primed with White male faces.
There should be no effect of prime for crime-irrelevant objects.

Visual Perception Study: Conclusions
Exposure to Black male faces facilitated the identification of crime-relevant objects.
Exposure to White male faces inhibited the identification of crime-relevant objects.

Correll Results: Race Made a Difference
Speed: Participants shot a White armed man slower than a Black armed man
Errors: Participants were more likely to shoot an unarmed Black man than an
unarmed White man
![Page 55: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The Turban Effect Study
Research volunteers played a computer game that showed apartment balconies on which different people appeared, some wearing Muslim-style turbans and others bare-headed.
They were told to shoot at the people carrying guns and spare those who were unarmed.
![Page 56: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The Turban Effect Results
Subjects were much more likely to shoot Muslim-looking people, even if they were carrying an “innocent item” instead of a weapon.
They also found a gender effect: Subjects were more likely to shoot men than women (even when harmless)

Due to implicit bias, officers may: Increase scrutiny of people of color Interpret ambiguous behavior on the part
of people of color as more aggressive Respond to people of color more
aggressively Under-respond to Whites, Asians, etc. And so forth.

First-Line Supervisors Help Their Officers To: Effectively perform their duties and solve crimes Identify the right suspect and make good cases Keep safe and go home at the end of the day
Policing based on biases/stereotypes impedes achievement of these
objectives!

Addressing Our Implicit Biases
![Page 64: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Contact Theory: Reducing Implicit Bias Positive contact between members of
groups improves inter-group attitudes and reduces both explicit and implicit biases.
![Page 65: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Personal Contacts and Implicit Biases in Officers Peruche and Plant (2005) Measured implicit
bias on the part of officers Shoot/don’t shoot simulator to measure implicit
bias. Surveys too
Police too manifest the blink responseBut the blink response is weaker in officers who
report positive attitudes and positive interpersonal contacts with racial/ethnic minorities

Unlinking Stereotypes: Correll Study Number 2 Speed: Both police and civilians exhibited racial
bias Errors: Bias was less likely to manifest itself in
police errors.Bottom Line: Police made correct decisions.
Interpretation: High quality, role play use-of-force training helps police “unlink” race & crime for split-second use-of-force decisions.

Implementing “Controlled (unbiased) Behavior”
We can implement “controlled behaviors” that override our (natural) implicit biases.

[NS] Previous module
Supervisors’ roleYou are many things……
One of your most challenging tasks…One aspect: You must supervise to promote
fair and impartial policing And with your decisions/actions…
![Page 78: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
In This Session
How to identify bias in your direct reports How to intervene when you suspect bias How to assess your own potential for
biased decisions How to speak to individuals, community
forums and media about bias and biased policing
![Page 79: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
The power of the police supervisor to set standards/expectations
![Page 80: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
How you respond to concerns of bias is very important.
“Crash”
![Page 81: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
[NS] Crash Points
Think about what the LT should have done Think about the message Think about the culture
![Page 82: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Identifying Biased Policing in Your Direct Reports
![Page 83: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
[NS] Identifying biased behavior Bias can manifest in well-intentioned, ill-
intentioned YOUR job: To identify when biased policing is
occurring What are you looking for?
Picture officer…… sees crime in young Latino males. [What might he do more of…..]
Picture officer …. well-to-do are law abiding, honest, worthy of respect. [What might he do…]
![Page 84: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
[NS] What sources of information would be helpful in detecting biased behavior?
EIS, limits of These sources: Might lead to concerns or confirm/refute
concerns.
![Page 85: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
[NS] It is difficult to identify bias!
Not visible behavior like force, it’s what the officer is thinking
This is why we can’t rely on dept’s complaint system
But this does not mean “throw up your hands”….Must understand and deal with less than clear
information/evidence.
![Page 86: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Intervening to Thwart Biased Behavior
![Page 87: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Discussed:How bias might manifestWhat information sources are useful
Now the Q: What do you do if you think a subordinate is engaged in biased behavior?
![Page 88: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
EX: Gary sees crime in all young, Latino males.
You believe he makes traffic stops to ask questions, look in the car, etc.
Much more aggressive with these individualsNo specific crime reports in area to support this
aggressive interventionHe is otherwise a good cop …wants to serve
communityHas commendations, etc……
![Page 89: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
What do you do, as a supervisor, about Gary?
![Page 90: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Addressing Bias with Direct Reports Recognize ambiguous nature of the “evidence”
of biased behavior Approach:
Share your observations Ask why this might be occurring Use non-accusatory tone Structure concerns in terms of officer safety and
effectiveness Discuss how/why behavior might be biased and
unacceptable
Possible reactions
![Page 91: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
[NS] Roll call as a teaching moment Preventative measure Opportunity to discuss department’s
commitment Easier…relaxed group setting Opportunity for hypotheticals or questions to
reinforce key points for this training(all this easier if you have had recruit training in
your agency on FIP)
![Page 92: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Supervisors are Human Too!
Be aware that your decisions may be influenced by your own biases.External and internal
Be aware that some directions that you give could:Produce perceptions of biases, racial tension.Be interpreted through the biases of your
officers [Lorie example]
![Page 93: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Departmental Policies
![Page 94: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
[NS] Department policies
There is not ONE definition of biased policing
Policies define biased policingTells officers………can/can’tMany focus just on race/ethnicity, some broader
You need to know/understand policy to supervise to promote FIP
![Page 95: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
In groups:
When is it appropriate for police to take race/ethnicity into consideration when making law enforcement decisions (e.g., decisions to stop, arrest, request consent to search)?
![Page 96: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
The Suspect-Specific Policy Model Officers may not consider the race or
ethnicity of a person in the course of any law enforcement action unless the officer is seeking to detain, apprehend, or otherwise be on the lookout for a specific suspect sought in connection with a specific crime who has been identified or described in part by race or ethnicity.
![Page 97: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
The PERF Policy
Officers shall not consider or otherwise be influenced by race/ethnicity in carrying out law enforcement activities except when credible, locally relevant information links a person or people of a specific race/ethnicity to an unlawful incident, unlawful incidents, criminal patterns, or schemes.
![Page 98: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
[NS] Again: Policy Importance
In supervising to promote fair and impartial policing
Agency policy defines what it is.
This is relevant to next exercises…..
![Page 99: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
[NS] Scenarios: Supervising for fair, impartial and effective policing
![Page 100: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Talking with the Community and the Media about Bias
![Page 101: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
Talking with community, individuals For example: Citizen concerns of bias,
community meetings, mediaPalo Alto
Have you had to deal with an individual or group with concerns about bias?What did you do? Were you good? Bad?
![Page 102: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
[NS] Individual community member ….. Alleging biased behavior Can be tense Let’s start with this: How do you want your
subordinates to respond to accusations of biased behavior made against them? …
![Page 103: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/103.jpg)
A Suggested Response to an Accusation of Biased Behavior“I am sorry that you feel that way. I stopped
you [or whatever the officer did to intervene with the community member] because you _____ [officer explains the violation or other reason for the intervention].”
![Page 104: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)
[NS] Why this language?
Officer’s denial will not be effectiveWon’t change motorist’s mind
And besides: The motorist might be right!! (What have learned?)
Our suggested language: AcknowledgeBack to business.
![Page 105: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
[NS] Now you are called to the scene What do you do/say? What do you not do/say?
![Page 106: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
What To Do
[Objectives: Reduce tension but not undermine your officer]
Listen to the concerns of community members
Inform community members of their right to file a complaint and the process for doing so.

What NOT To Do
Adjudicate on the spot
You do not KNOW whether bias occurred. Could debrief with officer.
![Page 108: Fair and Impartial Policing: The Supervisor’s Role.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061514/56649e7e5503460f94b81ed6/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
