N2  - Scholarship on service-learning and experiential learning increasingly demonstrates benefits for student access and success, but evidence is still needed of the impact of these strategies on sustainable development of communities and their infrastructure. This case study examines a university Police and Society course that partners with four police departments to use both experiential learning and service-learning in the form of ride-alongs, simulation trainings, and written and physical examinations, as well as hosting a police-community relations event. Focus groups of students and officers reveal how service-learning and experiential learning build capacity for police-community relations. Orienting students toward officer procedures, requirements, and culture creates a learning opportunity for both students and departments, while police-community relations activities humanize officers and build public understanding and trust.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
