Paducah police have teamed with professors at Murray State University to undergo training focused on cultural awareness and interactions with diverse communities.

The Paducah Sun reports seven officers completed the Cultural Leadership Academy at MSU last week. The educational pilot program spotlights the need for racial and cultural sensitivity training.

One session was held in April and another in September, covering several topics including diverse communities, community interactions, among others.

PPD Assistant Chief Brian Krueger says the program is about developing an understanding of diverse communities and cultivating awareness of how beliefs and perceptions can affect daily interactions.

MSU professor Teresa Clark says although no specific plans have been made yet, they do want to continue the program, adding that other law enforcement agencies have expressed interest in participating.
