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.

The Maricopa Police Department (MPD) is requesting training from the Bureau of Justice Assistance to train 61 sworn personnel and 7 civilian personnel on the "Nobility of the Law Enforcement Profession and how to the Survive a 25+ year career." All MPD personnel will be required to attend and surrounding agencies in Pinal County will be offered invitations. Ideally the training will be held on any Wednesday in two (2) Four (4) hour sessions with approximately 50 attendees in each session.

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.

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 facing a problem with both tenured and junior sworn personnel who need a re-commitment to the basic principles of the profession, either due to tenure, lack of maturity, and many other reasons. We have also faced a few recent challenges in decision making regarding off duty actions that have resulted in a lot of bad publicity, reduction in public trust and some good people making poor choices resulting in significant discipline.

Our agency is representing this training request for the law enforcement agencies within our regional association, which includes three counties on the western border of Arizona (Mohave, LaPaz, and Yuma Counties). We would like to host this training for multiple agencies (approx. 20) as we are the central location for our regional academy and association. We would like NTTAC's assistance in providing the training "Blue Courage" to all of our officers over a multiple day format to allow our agencies to cycle our officers through the program.

The Technical College Criminal Justice program sponsor an annual one day Criminal Justice conference for the community. Local, state, and federal agenices are invited to participate. The topic of interest is "Criminal Justice Leadership in the 21st century Community Policing"

We are requesting assistance with securing Blue Courage training. We are a non-profit agency and facilitate in-service training for (56) agencies, including the City of Flint. The City of Flint Chief of Police asked us to look into this training a few months ago, however, funding the training was not possible. His agency, as well as some of our others, has been decimated by staffing cuts. Additionally, Flint has the highest homicide rate in the nation. They have right around 100,000 population and experienced (67) homicides last year.
