This course is a presentation by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, through the Everyone Goes Home Program, that is designed to change the culture of accepting the loss of firefighters as a normal occurrence.
This presentation by the National Fallen Firefighter Foundations examines the root causes of line-of-duty deaths and the role of Leadership, Accountability, Culture and Knowledge (LACK) as it influences the end result. Many fire departments across the United States "LACK the Right Stuff" to prevent them from being on a path to a line-of-duty death, with leadership, accountability, culture, and knowledge as the elements that need to be addressed and managed in those environments.
This module is a roundtable discussion among five fire service leaders about how to create change in the fire service and lead a culture of safety. The roundtable discusses how to lead an organization where safety is a primary focus, including making safety a priority, handling resistance, extending responsible behavior modeling to "informal leaders" in the ranks, managing crew resources, fostering an environment of trust, and mitigating risk. The discussion was unscripted and guided by only a few questions posed to the group.
This course introduces the information and techniques law enforcement personnel need to safely and methodically collect and preserve electronic evidence at a crime scene. Topics include recognizing potential sources of electronic evidence; planning and executing a digital evidence-based seizure; and the preservation, packaging, documentation, and transfer of digital evidence. This course is a U.S. Department of Homeland Security-approved course.
Polis Patrol Expert is a web-based digital training system that gives law enforcement agencies of any size a simple, affordable way to create, deliver, and evaluate training scenarios using video footage from body-worn cameras or any other source.
Tact, Tactics, and Trust is an evidence-based police training system that combines essential officer safety, communication, and trust-building skills into a unified curriculum. These skills determine officers' safety and effectiveness on every public interaction, as well as during their interactions with subordinates, peers, and leaders. Like any kind of human performance, police-community interactions must be learned and deliberately practiced in a realistic context. For this reason, classes are as interactive as possible, even though a large number of officers may be attending.
The VALOR Executive Leadership Workshop inspires, educates, and challenges law enforcement executives to advance officer safety and wellness strategies within their own agencies. This four-hour workshop is a law enforcement executive-facilitated event that addresses leadership strategies; discusses policies, procedures, and best practices; explores new ideas and no-cost resources; and provides an opportunity to develop a customized executive action plan.
This VALOR Program training, offered as a one- or two-day course, provides officers at the all levels with the essentials to survive and thrive by emphasizing the importance of being physically and mentally prepared, maintaining situational awareness, combating complacency, and remaining vigilant.
