Book excerpt: New Third Edition Now Available! Transformational Policing Model: Bridging the Racial Divide is a contemporary 21st-century training strategy to assist police and community members in forming Positive Police-Community Partnerships (PPCP). Th e course objective is to narrate a transition from "Warrior to Guardian", which was introduced in the 2015 President's Final Report on 21st-Century Policing. It is an obligation of training to prepare 21st-century police officers for the risks and hazards in this truly noble profession. A critical part of this training is daily interactions with the public. Traditionally police in America have maintained a "Warrior" mentality, us v. them. America has found itself in a 21st Century Policing dilemma and we must address this important aspect of society. Nationwide protests and civil unrest indicate a change is needed in policing strategies and community engagement. Transformational Policing Model (TPM) is a training academic approach to providing direction and guidance leading to restoring trust and community partnership. TPM is a contemporary 21st Century training strategy to assist police and community members in forming Positive PoliceCommunity Partnerships (PPCP). TPM focuses on policing transforming from "Warrior to Guardian" a Philosophy introduced in the 2015 President's Final Report on 21st Century Policing. The Transformational Policing Model is an outgrowth of the six pillars of the 21st Century Policing initiative, undertaken during the Obama Administration. Transformational Policing Model (TPM) has been adopted into the curriculum of several criminal justice programs and is used as part of training for community members, law enforcement, government, and school employees. It is incorrect to assume a particular racial group is monolithic. A foundational component of TPM is partnership combined training classes with both law enforcement and members of the community they serve in the same training sessions. TPM emphasizes a "Communication Free Zone" where every attendee can respond to critical thinking discussion questions with candor in this deeply seeded emotional topic. Within the TPM model is training in a historical context to assist law enforcement agencies in understanding the origins of distrust of law enforcement in communities of color. Establishing trust where it has been betrayed or did not exist at all is going to be a significant challenge for the law enforcement profession in the coming years. TPM bridges this racial divide and is designed to affect true and lasting change in police-community relations.
