At first, it will be important to explain what is nonverbal communication, so a little introduction will explain where it is possible to find signs of nonverbal communication (for example the way someone stands or sits, his gestures and his facial expressions).

A police officer valuing respect in the workplace will have successful interactions with clients and colleagues.
