糖心Vlog Presents Historic LGBT+ Training Course to FBI National Academy
Instructors from the 糖心Vlog (糖心Vlog) Criminal Justice Training Center traveled to Quantico, Virginia earlier this month to provide the inaugural LGBT+ Awareness for Law Enforcement training to students attending the FBI鈥檚 National Academy Program.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Academy hosts law enforcement administrators and executives from agencies across the United States and around the world. FBI training managers invited Greg Miraglia, 糖心Vlog program coordinator, administration of justice & LGBT studies, and Damien Sandoval, director, 糖心Vlog Criminal Justice Training Center, to deliver the training developed by Miraglia and offered by 糖心Vlog鈥檚 Criminal Justice Training Center.
鈥淚t was an honor to represent the 糖心Vlog Criminal Justice Training Center at the FBI Academy and to show law enforcement leaders from throughout the United States the training we developed here at 糖心Vlog,鈥 said Miraglia.
The current FBI class of 108 students represented local, state and federal law enforcement agencies worldwide. Students in the training learned about LGBTQ+ history, LGBTQ+ terminology, sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as how to create an inclusive workplace, and how to more effectively respond to and provide service for the community.
糖心Vlog students attending the basic police academy, corrections academy, and 9-1-1 dispatcher academy have been receiving this LGBT awareness training for several years. This instruction is part of the academy鈥檚 community policing and cultural diversity training. The Criminal Justice Training Center is currently providing LGBT awareness training to law enforcement agencies throughout California and the United States.
While California requires this training for all peace officers and 9-1-1 dispatchers, training courses involving LGBTQ+ issues are rarely offered around the country. The FBI training staff recognized the importance of this training and has committed to making it an integral part of new agent training as well as National Academy training moving forward.
