    Webinar - Keeping Out of Trouble: Universal Questions & Decision Making Model for Ethical and Lawful Policing

    Decisionmaking in law enforcement training is often a "do what I tell you to do" process. Little consideration goes into teaching someone how to think. Even less time is spent on deconstructing the decisionmaking process through a critical thinking evaluation.

    Additionally, there are times when officers attempt to mitigate a problem and decide to act because they are there, but may lack the legal authority to act.

    Attendees of this thoughtful webinar will be introduced to:

    APA Webinar - Getting Diversion Right: Linking Treatment and Prosecutors

    Prosecutorial diversion requires a range of partners, resources, and activities to get it right. This is especially true when the diversion initiative involves behavioral health because the intersection of the legal system and the treatment system is one that can be fraught with complexity and misunderstanding. After all, these are two very different systems with very different purposes and missions, and a sporadic and limited history of working together. Getting it right is not easy but can be done. This webinar will present six considerations essential to doing just that. They are:

Learn effective supervision strategies to improve supervision outcomes, prevent crime, and reduce recidivism. During the webinar, participants will:
