The JIBC Police Academy moved away from the traditional lecture based curriculum delivery model and adopted a new competency based education model in 2016. Under the new curriculum the recruits learn concepts and skills through case based and practical scenarios in order to move towards professional competence (JIBC Police Academy proposal, ca. 2015). Post scenario debriefs focus on both practical and reflective skills. 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.
