The Art of Perception is a professional development program that uses the analysis of works of art to help participants re-examine their responsibilities in various agencies of law enforcement, refresh their sense of inquiry, and reinvigorate the language they use to communicate on the job. "The Art of Perception: Museums Breaking Ground in Law Enforcement Training" hopes to demonstrate that the intersection of these disciplines--law enforcement professional development and art analysis--has had a positive and enduring impact on the overall collective abilities in this vitally important professional sector and that The Art of Perception's methodology will help inform preparedness and strategic planning for this country's security initiatives.
