The Kansas City, Missouri Police Department (PD) requested two Blue Courage: The Heart and Mind of the Guardian trainings and one Blue Courage Academy. Blue Courage, Inc. was selected to fulfill the request and provided the two two-day trainings on April 12 - 13, 2017 and May 4 - 5, 2017, to 62 law enforcement personnel, and the four-day academy on June 6 - 9, 2017 to 20 law enforcement personnel in Kansas City, Missouri.
The Kansas City Missouri Police Departments Regional Training Academy had the opportunity to bring in the Blue Courage course for a select few of our members. All who attended found great value in the course and the messages that are given. Due to current fiscal constraints, we are not able to fund this training on a recurring basis during the current or coming fiscal year. As an agency, the KCPD Training Academy is interested in obtaining the Blue Courage training for members of our Command staff (roughly 60 members) as well as a Train-The-Trainer course for 30 of our training staff to enable our agency to train our own personnel (roughly 1,350 members) over the course of the next 1-2 years as time and availability allows.
