STEP 1: IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM OR ISSUE
The issue is Policing and Implicit bias being used during training.
the first step is to clearly identify the problem or issue you are trying to address. Synthesize data on the characteristics of the problem or issue, including the burden (how many people it affects), frequency (how often it occurs), severity (how serious of a problem is it), and scope (the range of outcomes it affects).
It helps to define the problem or issue as specifically as possible – for example, “lack of access to fresh fruits and vegetables” (instead of “obesity”) or “barriers to sustaining HIV treatment” (instead of “HIV/AIDS”). A way to look for these is as contributing factors or risk factors in the literature on the public health problem. This level of specificity can help you understand how best to address the problem. In addition, it is also useful to frame the problem in a way that helps illuminate possible policy solutions. For example, “providing safe places for people to be physically active in their communities” (which has clear policy solutions) instead of “increasing physical activity” (where the policy options are not as clear).
steps to complete this section:
Reviewing the literature on the top
ic,
Surveying best practices (including best practices in other problem/issue areas), and
Conducting an environmental scan to understand what other jurisdictions are doing
Be sure to collect evidence that addresses alternative and opposing points of view on the problem or issue and include the option of maintaining the status quo for the next step.
