What You Do Matters: Lessons from the Holocaust is a highly interactive course developed in concert with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM), specifically for law enforcement with focus on ethical and bias free leadership. The course is facilitated by law enforcement professionals and utilizes historical images, videos, artifacts, and displays selected by museum historians for engaging conversation for thought leadership. This course is like no other course in law enforcement and is supported by several years of short-term and long-term survey results and POST and/or CLE approval in multiple states including Arizona, California, Kentucky, Minnesota, Ohio, New York, South Dakota, and Texas.
