SUNY Potsdam hosts special training in community policing and cultural competency

Posted

POTSDAM - SUNY Potsdam hosted a special training in community policing and cultural competency recently, featuring national experts Dr. Lorenzo Boyd and Mike Lawlor of RENZ Consulting.

Nineteen officers from Lake Placid Village Police, New York State Police, Potsdam Village Police and SUNY Potsdam University Police took part in the daylong retreat -- the first of three sessions that the agencies will be taking part in, in the coming months.

The training was sponsored by the Adirondack Diversity Initiative, as part of its Community Wellness Initiative, to help local law enforcement agencies fulfill their goals of completing expanded diversity, equity and inclusion training, as outlined in many community plans developed under Executive Order 203.

The Adirondack Diversity Initiative secured funding to contract with RENZ Consulting to offer consulting and training resources to a limited number of interested agencies in the region.
