Summary:

 Cultural differences between police officers and the communities in which they serve and protect are increasingly receiving more scrutiny.

Both uniformed officers and police leadership have identified cultural awareness and related available training as barriers to serving their communities (Fletcher et al., 2019: Holohan, 2019).

Cultural competence is defined by the achievement of skills, attitudes, values, and beliefs which are apparent in individuals and organizations to help navigate unique characteristics among diverse populations. 

Cultural humility places more emphasis on attitudes and approaches of openness, self-reflection, mutual understanding, and life-long learning rather than an outcome of achievement (Fletcher et al., 2019; Molinaro et al., 2019; Nguyen et al., 2021).

Whether striving for cultural competence or cultural humility, prior research indicates the importance of training and socialization tactics, regardless of the specific framework (Fletcher et al., 2019; Khoury et al., 2021).
