Training Development

The Casa Grande Police Department recently uderwent an administation change which emphasizes a pro-active problem solving philosophy. As part of this cultural shift, the department seeks assistance to transition officer's mindset to a performance management philosophy. In addition, the department has experienced a cut in available training funds by more than fifty percent in this economic downturn. BJA NTTAC referred this request to CICP.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is seeking the assistance of the National Training and Technical Assistance Center (NTTAC) in procuring four SMCOV Inclusive Leadership Courses.

The Inclusive Leadership Courses are being sought to provide a comprehensive leadership training regimen for command level employees within our agency. It is intended to develop agency leaders in formulating and sustaining community outreach programs. The program strengths will complement the Blue Courage training program currently being instructed agency wide.

DIVERSITY AWARENESS, THE NEED FOR A SHIFT IN ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE, AND THE APPROPRIATE SKILLS/TOOLS NEEDED FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AMONG COMMAND AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL.

Trying to secure funding to bring Blue Courage Training to their area. BJA NTTAC referred this request to CICP.

Specifically, APD is requesting Blue Courage training. After ten solid years of exemplary executive police management, APD has reached a fork in the road where we are facing a "socialization" hurdle.

The Michigan State Police (MSP), respectfully requests Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) from the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to host ten two-day Blue Courage training sessions to address issues of officer cynicism, ethical decision making based on principled courage, dedication/devotion to the profession, health and wellness, and resilience to the stress of law enforcement.

Making Officers more aware of the dangers that could occur on everyday patrol.

I previewed the Blue Courage Training at a Chief Conference in Arizona and would like to bring the training to my Department. The ideals and philosophies are in line with everything we have been teaching here in the last 2.5 years and I would like to have a formalized program to augment and support what we have already established.

We are putting together a peer support program for our Officers and we need initial training to get started. Our officers are faced with stressful incidents and we need additional tools and resources to help them deal with problems and return to work. Our new policy incorporates group debriefings and individual counseling with mental health providers. We also have options and resources for religious counseling if the employee wishes. We would like to add the option of peer support, particularly when it involves a critical incident which involves lethal force.
