This course breaks down the meaning of interpersonal communication while questioning and reinventing the definition of self. There is an effort to transform and build the student's overall awareness of self and others: inside and outside the world of policing. Its foundation is active listening and responding skills, verbal and nonverbal skills, conflict management, diversity and sensitivity to others, cognitive vs. emotional problems, and similar topics. A balance of theoretical concepts, skills, and principles encourage students to become "other oriented" communicators, while exploring and developing selfconcepts. An emphasis on emotional survival in law enforcement concludes this course to provide the student with a realistic scope of this profession and to support pre-service values and post-service survival. Prerequisite: LENF2602 and LENF2606.
