Law Enforcement Cultural Competency Curriculum

Job ID: 40142107

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I’m looking for a culturally-responsive curriculum designer with a solid social-work lens to build a complete cultural competence program for our Florida law-enforcement agency. The end result should equip our officers with practical skills they can apply on the street the same day they leave the classroom.

Scope
• Design a modular curriculum (1-day, 2-day, and refresher formats) that we can adapt for patrol, investigations, and command staff.
• Center every module on the three pillars we selected—Communication Skills, Bias Awareness, and Community Engagement—tying each back to real policing contexts in Florida.
• Spotlight the communities we serve most: Hispanic/Latino, African American, and LGBTQ+. Local data, case law, and regional history matter, so weave those throughout.
• Build in interactive learning: guided group discussions that draw out lived experience and high-quality video scenarios that model best practices. If you see an opportunity to add role-play down the road, leave notes so we can expand later.

Materials
1. Instructor guide with timed agenda, step-by-step facilitation notes, and discussion prompts.
2. Participant workbook (fillable PDF) containing reflection questions, scenario analyses, and quick-reference checklists.
3. Slide deck in PowerPoint or Canva, ready for direct delivery.
4. Scenario library featuring Florida-specific encounters (traffic stops, community events, crisis calls) written in plain language with clear learning objectives.

Integration & Compliance
After award, I’ll provide our current agency policy and any mandated state guidelines. The curriculum must align with those directives and incorporate the social-work principles of person-in-environment, strengths-based practice, and cultural humility.

Acceptance Criteria
• All deliverables editable and share-ready.
• Content reviewed for accuracy against Florida statutes and DOJ best practices.
• At least two sample videos embedded or linked and permissions secured.
• Instructor guide pilot-ready—no gaps, no placeholders.

If you have a portfolio of police or public-sector training that merges social work and public safety, let’s talk timelines and see how quickly we can get this program in front of our officers.
