We Identify and Train Diverse Leaders. We recruit diverse Bachelors's level graduates who are representative of the communities we serve. These recruits take part in our advanced academy where they learn from a data-informed curriculum and gain expertise in diversity, equity, and inclusiveness (DEI) as well as community-oriented policing theory (COP) in accordance to the recommendations from Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. We plan to welcome 10 extraordinary leaders to our first academy class in January 2022. We Advance Leadership and Guide Socialization. We place our recruits in accredited agencies that value community-oriented policing practices. Our leaders are expected to go above and beyond the traditional expectations of police- they initiate community-oriented tactics, support community programs and organizations, and foster community trust through genuine relationship building. Our recruits gain context and clarity into systemic injustices while producing innovative solutions to the community level problems they encounter. Alongside their Chiefs, our leaders regularly share solutions at New Blue cross-department convenings to foster further peer-to-peer and institutional learning. We reinforce guardian culture through ongoing training, 1:1 coaching, and group conversations in our recruit's initial and most formative years. We Support Career Trajectories and Leadership. Upon completion of their second year of service, our leaders become ambassadors and stewards of our mission. Through executive coaching and formal scholarships, we position them to become Council Members, Mayors, Senators, Sheriffs; positions that influence the law enforcement system. In these careers of elected and non-elected leadership, our ambassadors directly address the systemic inequities they identified while in-service while further advancing our core values.
