how would you suggest that officers be trained to specifically deal with juveniles? Provide at least 3 specific issues or factors that officers might be trained in.

Answer 1

Hi Kelsey, this is a great question!

Three types of training that I suggest officers receive in order to help them have more positive encounters with juveniles are:

1. Trauma-informed interviewing
2. Cultural competence
3. Crisis Intervention Training (CIT)

I'd be happy to talk about this further in depth; please feel free to reach out and schedule a session with me!

Best,

Liz
