Interpersonal Skills for Police Officers - A short quiz to get you thinking.

Here are seven simple questions.  Take them one at a time and answer them. I would recommend writing down your first thought on reading each question. Work through them to the end, recording your response to each.

  • Why do police officers not care?

  • Why do police officers make insensitive comments?

  • Why are police officers incompetent?

  • Why are police officers rude?

  • Why are police officers racist?

  • Why do police officers assault people?

  • Why do police officers kill people?

Now that you have reached the end:

  • What are you feeling?

Who you are, your age, background, your life experiences and the circumstances under which you have read the questions, will all have had an impact on your responses and the feelings your answers create.

Understanding what drives our behavior allows us to better control it. At HSM our interpersonal skills training is designed for police officers of all ranks.  Based in the latest psychology and neuro-science research it helps participants better understand how the brain functions and drives subsequent behavior. Classes are highly interactive and thought provoking. They are designed to bring about long-term change in the behavior of those attending. You might be surprised how much you learn about yourself.
