Guest Speaker: Chief Manuel Borrego
Topic: Diversity in the Local Police Department
Program Description: The Wichita Falls Police Department supports and implements a diversity program which:
-
Defines and demands respect for all personnel employed by the Police Department, no matter the ethnic or racial make-up of the personnel. It teaches constructive conversation as well as cooperative attitudes and helps our personnel see into the cultural differences of our people and how these cultural differences can create differences in opinions and decision-making.
-
The educational program also reaches into the public arena and teaches our police officers about the many ethnic and racial groups that make up our jurisdiction. It helps our officers understand how these cultural differences can influence the way the public responds to our officers during various activities.
-
Our overall educational process demands of the department leadership that they model the language, cooperation, respect, and behaviors which promote excellent understanding and respect for the diversity of employees and the public we have.
Learning Points: Diversity is part of the fabric of everyday lives of our police officers. It is integral to the though processes and behaviors that our police officers use when dealing with one another as well as the public.
