In recent years, there has been a growing social and political controversy surrounding police, racism, excessive use of force, and communities of color in the United States (i.e., Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, etc). The controversy has been polarizing. Currently, we do not have nationally centralized training or assessment standards for police officer training and assessment of cultural competency. Furthermore, there is little to no research indicating how and if police departments are measuring and accounting for this area of training. In light of this, we recommend the use of the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) as a tool to train police officers from a developmental perspective. The IDI is a 50-item questionnaire assessment of intercultural competence, which provides each individual with an IDI profile that seeks to help identify key (a) intercultural growth goals, (b) specific challenges individuals face when met with cultural difference, (c) critical incidents one faces when encountering cultural differences, and (d) ways one navigates the differences. The IDI would provide an assessment tool to begin gathering psychological evidence around where police departments are in their intercultural competence, and begin understanding what types of training are needed. We believe that improved competence and contextual awareness may help to lead to more effective police work and thus, decrease frequency of police-involved shootings of people of color, especially Black men.

警务人员进行跨文化能力评估和培训的需求

近年来,在美国,围绕警察,种族主义,过度使用武力和有色人种的社区(例如,塔米尔·赖斯,桑德拉·布兰德,迈克尔·布朗,特雷冯·马丁等),社会和政治争议日益加剧。争议一直在两极分化。目前,我们还没有针对警察培训和文化能力评估的全国性集中培训或评估标准。此外,几乎没有研究表明警察部门如何以及是否在对该培训领域进行衡量和核算。有鉴于此,我们建议使用“跨文化发展清单”(IDI)作为从发展角度培训警察的工具。IDI是一项针对跨文化能力的50项问卷调查评估,为每个人提供IDI资料,以帮助确定关键的(a)跨文化增长目标;(b)遇到文化差异时个人面临的特定挑战;(c)遇到文化差异时面临的重大事件;以及(d)差异的导航方式。IDI将提供一种评估工具,以开始收集有关警察部门在其跨文化能力中所处位置的心理证据,并开始了解需要什么类型的培训。我们认为,提高能力和情境意识可能有助于提高警察工作效率,从而减少警察对有色人种,特别是黑人的枪击事件。(b)个人在遇到文化差异时面临的具体挑战,(c)一个人在遇到文化差异时面临的重大事件,以及(d)应对差异的方式。IDI将提供一种评估工具,以开始收集有关警察部门在其跨文化能力中所处位置的心理证据,并开始了解需要什么类型的培训。我们认为,提高能力和情境意识可能有助于提高警察工作效率,从而减少警察对有色人种,特别是黑人的枪击事件。(b)个人在遇到文化差异时面临的具体挑战,(c)一个人在遇到文化差异时面临的重大事件,以及(d)应对差异的方式。IDI将提供一种评估工具,以开始收集有关警察部门跨文化能力所在位置的心理证据,并开始了解需要哪种培训。我们认为,提高能力和情境意识可能有助于提高警察工作效率,从而减少警察对有色人种,特别是黑人的枪击事件。IDI将提供一种评估工具,以开始收集有关警察部门在其跨文化能力中所处位置的心理证据,并开始了解需要什么类型的培训。我们认为,提高能力和情境意识可能有助于提高警察工作效率,从而减少警察对有色人种,特别是黑人的枪击事件。IDI将提供一种评估工具,以开始收集有关警察部门在其跨文化能力中所处位置的心理证据,并开始了解需要什么类型的培训。我们认为,提高能力和情境意识可能有助于提高警察工作效率,从而减少警察对有色人种,特别是黑人的枪击事件。
