The League will provide Anti-Bias Training to all officers.
In order to increase officer awareness of bias and to better serve those that reside and visit the towns that we serve on a daily basis, the Medford, Lumberton and Palmyra Police Departments have joined the Anti-Defamation League to provide Anti-Bias Training to all officers.
The unique role of police officers in any community makes cross-cultural understanding imperative. In an effort to better communicate with all segments of our population and help the members of our communities feel that their concerns are understood; the Departments have reached out to the Anti-Defamation League.
The Anti-Defamation League has created a specialized anti-bias training program. These training workshops have been presented to the FBI, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the New York State Police and many other local law enforcement agencies.
Training workshops for all three departments are being held at the Lumberton Township Municipal Building, located at 35 Municipal Drive in Lumberton. Training was conducted on Thursday Jan. 12, and will also take place on Thursday, Jan. 19, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
