Next step in law enforcement?

[Kerry]

The next step in law enforcement—mandatory leadership training.*

The communication model, the way we have been communicating with each other, what we've learned about communication from our parents, teachers, leaders, and clergy, produces results that cause, (yes cause) 25% of the nation's freshman college applicants to require remedial composition and comprehension courses to learn what their K-12 "teachers" failed to communicate. For decades this same communication model (appropriately referred to as the Adversarial Communication Model) has been producing 42%+ recidivism, the wage and wealth disparity and the Me2 movement.

That is to say, a significant percentage of the populace still have difficulties with, "some assembly required," computing the best cost of grocery items or miles per gallon. Still, no high school, university, college or military academy, offers or requires Leadership Training.   What is offered is "Intro to ...", "About ...", "Advanced ...", "Continuing ...", "Practical ..." courses, classes, studies, seminars and communication workshops. None offer Training. These "Intro to ..." and "About ..." curriculums teach eventual parents to teach their children to deceive—evidenced by the fact that the majority of teens con each other into deceiving both sets of parents so as to have sex. A "Training" includes being guided to experience the correlation between personal integrity and outcomes and "getting" (recreating) and responsibly communicating anger.

School Teachers and Police Academy Integrity-Course Instructors alike—espouse open and honest communication yet all know of at least one peer who is perpetrating departmental infractions. These "good," often awarded, "leaders" non-verbally vote for 24-more-hours of the same. None have completed a Leadership Training Program.

Note: Police Department Members always mirror the integrity of their leaders (the Superintendent, the Chief and the Commissioners); it's a given, a person of integrity would not remain in an organization that doesn't value and act upon his/her support. Of interest: A police officer who is dragging around unacknowledged perpetrations into each present-day interaction (deceits/thefts/abuses) will cause their family-child to mirror them. With children it begins with misbehaving/pouting, leading to getting sick, to failing, eventually to bringing in the authorities (teachers/therapists/police).

Here on the Big Isle many of us know of an officer who used to grow marijuana. It's not that he/she lied during his job application process, it's that the Police Chief was/is not the space that inspires integrity. A person of integrity can experience another's out-integrity.

The vast majority of meetings that take place daily throughout the nation do not start on time with everyone seated; this reveals that such meetings are being facilitated by someone stuck somewhere in-the-process-of-becoming-a-leader. Premise: A "leader" inspires responsibility. Tardy members are communicating that their integrity is out, that they are not being supervised correctly; they have no choice other than to thwart the facilitator. 
 
* Proposed Leadership Training Program for university students: One three-hour session every other week, every semester, all four years. Peers graduate each other (communicating, "Yes, I'd trust my child with this teacher.")
