Minneapolis police training aims to help officers recognize biases

Minneapolis police have launched a new training program to teach the entire department how to counteract personal biases at a time of renewed scrutiny of police tactics locally and across the country after several racially charged incidents.

The “fair and impartial” police training teaches officers that even a well-intentioned person can have unconscious or implicit biases. Police officers are taught to recognize their prejudices and reduce their influence in how they go about their jobs.
