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.

Nebraska was a Blue Courage pilot site for implementing Blue Courage principles in the basic police academy in 2015. All four Nebraska academies participated and is a part of basic training. We have now been moved to a "full-immersion state" and are requesting an additional Blue Courage train-the-trainer to include law enforcement agencies without a police academy to complete the Nebraska full immersion project. We anticipate having the next training on the eastern side of the state, sometime in the spring of 2017.
