This study evaluated whether an intervention on implicit bias would mitigate police academy recruits' implicit associations and color-blind racial ideology. The police recruits' racial attitudes were tested before and after the completion of the implicit bias training. Their implicit associations on Race, Skin-Tone, and Weapons were tested as well, both before and again at the completion of the training. The purpose of this study was to measure the impact of an intervention designed to decrease the implicit bias of police academy recruits by improving their racial attitudes toward minorities. The ultimate goal of this study was to search for ways to improve implicit bias training in hopes of reducing police officer's implicit bias along with improving their color-blind racial attitudes toward people of color. Findings of the research indicated the implicit bias intervention had no significant effect on the recruits' racial attitudes nor their implicit associations. Recommendations included: (1) integrating implicit bias training into the academy curriculum, including scenario-based training facilitated by a person of color who can speak personally on the negative effects of racial bias; (2) providing implicit bias training to the administration and instructional staff at the academy; (3) including intergroup contact theory and color-blind racial ideology in the curriculum which should include counter-stereotypic imagery and storytelling; (4) recruiting more racial and minority instructors and role-players; and (5) involving the community more in the training.
