About this listen
It is a policing approach focused on understanding how trauma impacts individuals' behaviors, leading to increased empathy, decreased re-traumatization, and improved community trust.
Join the host, Chief Virgil Green, and his guest, Eric Threlkeld, who has a robust background in law enforcement operations with a specialized focus on domestic violence prevention. Eric also serves as Detective Captain at the Eddy County Sheriff's Office in New Mexico. Join us as we discuss trauma-informed policing and the importance of training police officers how to recognize trauma's effects, ask open-ended, non-judgmental questions ("What has happened to you?" vs. "What's wrong with you?"), ensure victims' safety, provide resources, and explain procedures to reduce distress and foster cooperation.
