Police officers have an obligation to ensure their investigations are fair and impartial; to do so they must be aware of their own implicit biases and develop strategies to mitigate their effect. Due to the increase in awareness of implicit bias, there has also been an increase in interest in police training in fair and impartial policing. The study examined the responses to scenario debrief questions from one class of police recruits at the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) Police Academy. The main objective of this project is to learn how police recruits identify their biases and what strategies they utilize to deal with such biases and triggers to ensure their investigations are fair and impartial in the scenario-based training environment.
