800 RALEIGH POLICE DEPT AGENTS COMPLETE FIRST EVER SIKH CULTURAL AWARENESS TRAINING Raleigh, North Carolina - UNITED SIKHS and The Sikh Gurudwara of North Carolina (SGNC) are proud to announce the completion of the first ever Sikh Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity Training for the Raleigh Police department. The training was conducted in twelve sessions. The aim of these sessions was to explain who Sikhs are, their five articles of faith, and how to uphold Sikh religious sentiments and sensitivities while interacting with the Sikh community. From July 7th 2014 to Aug 19, 2014 approximately 800 Raleigh law enforcement agents including detectives and uniformed and community police officers, attended the training sessions. These twelve sessions with the local police department served as a fantastic opportunity to showcase principles of Sikhism and help avoid ignorance. Earlier in July, UNITED SIKHS Attorneys traveled to Jackson, Mississippi to train law enforcement and other state personnel on Sikh practices. It was for the first time that a training of this kind was conducted in the State of Mississippi. Training was successfully imparted to a packed room which included the United States Attorney for the Southern District of MS, local FBI supervisory agent and the Deputy Attorney General. We are committed to continue imparting such trainings to law enforcement personnel throughout the country.
