Join Praxis for an insightful webinar on how trauma-informed community policing strategies can improve engagement with survivors in tribal communities, featuring Sandra Pilgrim-Lewis from Michigan’s tribal coalition, Uniting Three Fires Against Violence. Community policing is an approach that can be beneficial to both tribal and non-tribal communities.
Together, we’ll explore:
- Common challenges facing Indigenous survivors who interact with law enforcement and how these challenges can be mitigated by a community policing approach
- Survivor, law enforcement, and court perspectives on the benefits of community policing
- Resources and innovative strategies for trauma-informed policing that participants can utilize and share with their communities
Training certificates for this event are available upon request.
