Not a fan of this type of curriculum and it actually misses the mark in today's education with young police officers and society in general. The goal should be aimed more towards how police seek to learn and understand the public in potentially volatile situations, not the other way around. Students should be taught civics, which will encompass interactions with authority, not specifically how to interact with the police.
This does not make make police look good, or bad. It does try to remove some of the avoidable issues that can make interactions with enforcement go poorly.
