Welcome to TCC Online Courses
EMPOWERING YOUTH, PARENTS & COMMUNITIES
Online courses offer a flexible and accessible way for community members to learn about effective engagement and safety practices with law enforcement agencies. These courses can increase awareness, reduce misunderstandings, and build trust between the public and police. By providing education on legal rights, communication strategies, and the role of law enforcement, online programs empower individuals to navigate interactions more confidently and safely, ultimately contributing to stronger community-police relationships.
Course 1
Community Safety Education Act (Senate Bill 30)
Training youth on traffic stops promotes safety and positive police relationships, leading to better outcomes. The 2017 Community Safety Education Act (S.B. 30) establishes curriculum for high school instruction on proper interaction with peace officers.
Bridging Gaps
Empowering Youth, Parents and Communities
Texas Cops and Communities promotes a collaborative approach to serving youth through alternative community-based programs. The program aims to improve long-term outcomes such as increased access to mentoring services, higher academic performance, reduced school dropout rates, enhanced protective factors, better social and emotional well-being, decreased substance use and gang participation, increased hope and motivation for a positive future, improved public safety, stronger relationships between youth and law enforcement, and greater involvement and satisfaction among community stakeholders, youth, and families. By partnering with local organizations and collaborating with youth, families, police, juvenile judges, juvenile probation departments, and other stakeholders, the TCC program seeks to develop comprehensive solutions that increase youth access to services and enhance public safety across Texas.
Building trust between law enforcement and their communities is crucial for ensuring safety and security. Through leadership education and purposeful engagement, law enforcement can effectively bridge the gap with the communities they serve.
