Parole staff and academy instructors toured the Museum of Tolerance and Anne Frank exhibit in Los Angeles July 19, 2019.

The tour provided a powerful and immersive learning experience about the Holocaust. There were also other historical global overviews of crimes against humanity.

The Division of Adult Parole Operations staff learned through discussion and exhibits. The tour focused on advancing understanding of how emotions, thoughts, decisions, and actions are strongly influenced by the human dynamics of implicit/explicit bias, exclusion and oppression.

Basic Parole Agent Academy instructors took the tour to help facilitate evidenced-based practices in procedural justice to support fair and respectful treatment. Participation in the tour provided multiple perspectives to promote and instill professional standards supportive of human rights, diversity, inclusion and social justice within the criminal justice system.

The goal is to build trust and benefit the population served, strengthen community perceptions and relations as well as enhance officer and public safety.
