Back in class

Last month, Westland police officers and supervisors completed in-person training. Classes included sessions on Fair and Impartial Policing and Traffic Stop Safety along with a review of previous training. The subject matter focused on implicit biases, acknowledging them and managing them. Officers attended afternoon classes reviewing basic safety practices while conducting traffic stops. In a prepared statement supervisors noted that the Westland Police Department constant education of officers and supervisors while following guidelines set forth by  the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA). Monthly department training will continue through 2023.
