The Police Foundation’s flagship seminar and publication series Ideas in American Policing Presents Outside the Academy: Learning Community Policing through Community Engagement.

In its newest release, Anne Li Kringen, Ph.D. and Jonathan Allen Kringen, Ph.D. beg the question, “Can new recruits really learn community policing inside the academy?” Using New Haven Police Department’s innovative approach to training recruits in community policing through community engagement outside the academy as an example, this presentation and associated publication will explore the impact on involved recruits, the potential value of context-based learning, and the benefits of formative community experiences for police recruits.
