Topics
Projects
The Crime Lab hosted a webinar on the findings of our recently released study, A Cognitive View of Policing, which evaluated a pilot of the Situational Decision-Making (Sit-D) police training program.
The webinar provides an in-depth review of the study’s findings and explores Sit-D’s potential to reduce adverse policing outcomes while simultaneously increasing community and officer safety. The panel includes members of the research team and the Chicago Police Department who led the training.
Learn more about the study here.
