This training reflects a science-based approach to understanding human biases and prejudices; it is about how our minds work and how to most effectively make unbiased decisions. FIP will further be tailoring this course specific to BC Board members. Board members will: • Learn about the modern science of bias and prejudice, including implicit bias; • Discuss how bias can manifest in law enforcement professionals and in community members; • Acquire skills for reducing and managing bias; and, • What you can do to promote fair and impartial policing within your department. Fundamental concepts of the FIP training include: • All people, even well-intentioned people have biases; • Having biases is normal to human functioning; and, • Biases are often unconscious, or ‘implicit’ thus influencing choices and actions without conscious thinking or decision-making.

Recommendations from this report specifically state that the Provincial Government require police officers to undergo additional mandatory training concerning vulnerable community members. Although Fair and Impartial Policing is based in the United States, it should be noted that it has been customized to BC context. The training that was developed for police officers was done so in consultation with a BC based equity and diversity consultant, an Indigenous resiliency consultant, and front-line police officers and supervisors from the Victoria Police department. This course is a shortened community version which is available to Police Board members. FIP LLC has provided training to agencies across Canada (Toronto, Winnipeg, Halifax, Ottawa, Peel and Vancouver). *This includes professionally bound training materials that will couriered
