Work

Fridell's research has cut across a number of law enforcement topics, but especially police use of force, violence against police and biased policing. She has served as an author, co-author or editor of seven books including, most recently Producing Bias-Free Policing: A Science-Based Approach (Singer Publishers). She has also published numerous academic articles and chapters. Fridell developed the "Fair & Impartial Policing" training program to help police recognize and manage their own implicit biases. Fair and Impartial Policing, LLC (FIP, LLC) is the #1 provider of implicit bias training for law enforcement in the U.S. (www.fipolicing.com) In recent years, FIP, LLC has produced customized curricula for non-police audiences including city/county workers, Fire/EMS professionals, prosecutors and others.
