DPSCS Implicit Bias Awareness - Fair & Impartial Corrections (Supervisory Staff) Reserved for Supervisory Staff to include Lieutenants, Case Management Supervisors, DPP Field Supervisor Is, Monitor Supervisor Is, Civilian/Non-uniformed staff Supervisors. NOTE Anyone who manages supervisors can NOT attend this class and should enroll in the Administrator level course as available. This training on Implicit Bias applies decades of research on human bias to the decisions that both Institutional and Community Correctional Professionals make every day. This is a course about how your mind works. There will be no finger pointing or blame; instead we will discuss how implicit biases can affect well-intentioned individuals outside their conscious awareness. During the class, we will discuss the negative consequences of letting your ‘hidden biases’ impact your perceptions and behavior and, importantly, you will learn the skills that you can implement to reduce and manage your biases. These skills will not keep you from doing the important functions of your job; instead these skills will enhance your ability to engage in that work and make decisions that are more effective and just. Because this class has been customized for DPSCS, we will also discuss with First Line Supervisors what they will need to do besides managing their own biases, to promote bias-free decisions within your agency. Please note that each of the various program dates has an affiliated level of students for the session. Rank/title is a REQUIRED FIELD when enrolling. Students assigned to an institution must contact their institutional training coordinator to attend. This applies for any and all ranks assigned to an institution. ITCs can enroll by logging into training.mdle.net. For those individuals not assigned to an institution (i.e. Office of the Secretary), please submit the DPSCS Non-Institution Bias Registration Form to request enrollment. This program is posted for DPSCS staff only. Other agencies are not permitted to attend at this time. We are aware that courses filled up very quickly. Submitting your information on the Waitlist Form will ensure you're alerted when additional dates are confirmed, though notices will continue to be sent as classes are posted.

Firearms Training, 7320 Slacks Road, Sykesville
Fee: 100.00
Approval Code: P50424
The Firearms Training Unit has developed a new curriculum designed to further develop current firearms instructors. After the introduction of House Bill 218 (LEOSA) in 2005, agency firearms instructors are seeing more and more revolvers on their firing line. This is due to the fact that now retirees can come back and get their LEOSA permit to carry nationwide. Many of our older retirees carried revolvers when they were active and wish to do so in retirement. The problem this creates is that less and less current instructors are certified to teach revolver. If they aren’t certified in revolver, they cannot work a firing line with a revolver. This two day class will allow instructors to add the revolver to the list of weapons they are able to teach. Please note:This course is only open to MPCTC client-agencies. Client agencies are Maryland certified agencies under the regulated authority of the Maryland Police and Corrections Training Commissions (MPCTC). The Firearms Training Unit will be supplying the weapons, holsters, and speed loaders for each student. MPCTC does NOT supply ammo for this course!! Please ensure enrolled students work with their agency's procurement process in order to purchase the required ammo prior to attending this course. Students will need to bring 500 rounds of .38 special ammo, which can be hollow point, round nose, jacketed, or semi-wad cutter ammo. Do not bring Wad Cutter ammunition as you may have loading issues in the revolver when using speed loaders. If you have a revolver you wish to use in the school, it will have to be pre-approved by Firearms Staff prior to the start of the school. No race guns! Contact JamieL.Green@maryland.gov with questions regarding weapons. Other equipment students will need for the class is a Sam Browne belt and belt keepers, along with note taking material. Please wear proper range attire, meaning no jeans or graphic t-shirts. BDU's and a logo shirts are preferred.

The transition from the police academy to the “real” world is a critical step in the development of law enforcement officers. The field training program is the essential link in that officer development. Field Training Program options include the traditional San Jose model; the problem solving oriented Police Training Officer Reno model; and the Proficiency field training model. The Field Training and Evaluation Program does not advocate any particular model. Instead it incorporates the best of all models in a manner that is realistic and applicable to the current environment. This program will highlight the concepts and philosophies that emphasize the “training” role of an FTO. It is the goal of this program to inform students of the skills, knowledge and abilities that are needed to become an FTO. Initially, the program examines the roles of the field training officer – specifically, the fact that the field training officer functions as the “supervisor” of a field trainee. The program also focuses on the fact that an FTO needs to possess and demonstrate skills in leadership and delegation. Additional components of the program instruct to the following: • Fundamentals of effective communication; • Counseling; • The various roles of an FTO, including the FTO as a trainer; • Challenges facing the FTO; • Training liability and legal issues; • COMAR Field Training Requirements • Ethics and Integrity • Adult Learning • Emotional Intelligence • Diversity and Generational Differences The program is a combination of classroom instructor and practical application. During the daily practical applications, students will • Apply leadership traits and principles to an FTEP Program / training situation; • Introduce trainee to FTEP expectations and standards; • Rehearse counseling skills; • Prepare a remedial training plan for a specific problem; and, • Review evaluation instruments. Agencies holding a TBD seat must update the information one month ahead. Thank you!

DPSCS Implicit Bias Awareness - Fair & Impartial Corrections (Front Line Staff) Reserved for Front Line Staff to include Sergeants, Corporals, Agents, Monitors, Civilian/Non-uniformed staff and any other comparable ranks/titles who are in a non-supervisory role. This training on Implicit Bias applies decades of research on human bias to the decisions that both Institutional and Community Correctional Professionals make every day. This is a course about how your mind works. There will be no finger pointing or blame; instead we will discuss how implicit biases can affect well-intentioned individuals outside their conscious awareness. During the class, we will discuss the negative consequences of letting your ‘hidden biases’ impact your perceptions and behavior and, importantly, you will learn the skills that you can implement to reduce and manage your biases. These skills will not keep you from doing the important functions of your job; instead these skills will enhance your ability to engage in that work and make decisions that are more effective and just. Because this class has been customized for DPSCS, we will also discuss with First Line Supervisors what they will need to do besides managing their own biases, to promote bias-free decisions within your agency. Please note that each of the various program dates has an affiliated level of students for the session. Rank/title is a REQUIRED FIELD when enrolling. Students assigned to an institution must contact their institutional training coordinator to attend. This applies for any and all ranks assigned to an institution. ITCs can enroll by logging into training.mdle.net. For those individuals not assigned to an institution (i.e. Office of the Secretary), please submit the DPSCS Non-Institution Bias Registration Form to request enrollment. This program is posted for DPSCS staff only. Other agencies are not permitted to attend at this time. We are aware that courses fill up very quickly. Submitting your information on the Waitlist Form will ensure you're alerted when additional dates are confirmed, though notices will continue to be sent as classes are posted.
