Advisor/Trainer, Thomas Tremblay Consulting & Training
The overwhelming majority of those who serve in the noble profession of law enforcement are professionals who uphold their oath of office. However, we cannot ignore the numerous headlines, arrests, convictions, and lawsuits describing horrific acts of sexual misconduct perpetrated by law enforcement officers. When a predatory sexual offender has the power and authority of the police, this creates an extremely serious breach of the ethics of the profession, a violation of the color of law, and a traumatic victimization of a colleague or citizen whom law enforcement has sworn to protect.
Through an examination of case studies and after-action reviews, the presenter will discuss the need for policy to proactively confront law enforcement sexual misconduct as well as introduce a new EVAWI resource titled: “Model Policy Resource: Law Enforcement Sexual Misconduct Prevention and Accountability.”
