UNCONVENTIONAL POLICE TRAINING FILM DEALING WITH THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE PERSONAL EMOTIONS POLICEMEN MAY FEEL IN CERTAIN STRESSFUL SITUATIONS AND THE ACTIONS THEY TAKE AS POLICEMEN.
Abstract
POLICE OFFICERS (PORTRAYED BY MEMBERS OF THE MOUNT VERNON, NEW YORK POLICE FORCE) EXPRESS THEIR DIFFERING VIEWS ON HOW THEY WOULD AND DO FEEL AND REACT IN SITUATIONS INVOLVING POLICE HARASSMENT (PHYSICAL AND/OR VERBAL ABUSE). THE INCORRECT AND DANGEROUS THINGS DONE AND THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY SOME POLICE OFFICERS ARE INTENDED TO STIMULATE DISCUSSIONS OF HOW PEOPLE SOMETIMES BEHAVE WHEN THEY ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE GOVERNED ONLY BY THEIR EMOTIONS. THE LANGUAGE IN THIS FILM IS RAW, GOOD POLICE PRACTICE IS NOT NECESSARILY FOLLOWED, AND NO ATTEMPT IS MADE TO HELP THE POLICE IMAGE. THIS FILM IS ONE OF A THREE-PART POLICE EXPERIENCE MODULE WHICH COMES WITH A 'TRAINER'S GUIDE' AND TRAINEE WORKSHEETS FOR EACH FILM MODULE. FOR PARTS ONE AND TWO, 'FEAR AND ANXIETY' AND 'FEELING FOOD,' SEE NCJ-27512 AND NCJ-27514.
