The Nevada Highway Patrol requested a Blue Courage Academy for 25 students. Blue Courage, Inc. was selected to fulfill the request and provided the five-day academy to 25 members of the Nevada Highway Patrol, Reno, Nevada Police Department, and the Washoe County, Nevada Sheriff's Office from May 1 – 5, 2017 in Reno, Nevada.

Description of the Problem

The Nevada Highway Patrol has committed to embedding the "Blue Courage" curriculum into our agency. In 2015 we sent two officers to the train the trainer academy in San Francisco and since that time they have been actively training our sworn staff as well as officers and executives from allied agencies. To date we have trained over 300 officers in our area. In order to continue with this incredible program we are in need of more training officers. Because we are a statewide agency, the logistics to get our people to the training in cost prohibitive. By getting more officers certified as trainers we can effectively push this training around our agency and throughout the State of Nevada. Our budget will not support the cost of bringing in the Blue Courage Academy so we are asking for assistance in to get 25 total officers trained as Blue Courage instructors.
