There are two ways to keep an officer safe. One involves performing the correct action on the street and the other pertains to how they perceive their job. To address this, the following classes have been created: a relevant cutting edge officer survival class and an ethics class that introduces an acceptable way to bring home the message.
Officer Survival Mindset - Becoming a 15th Century Samurai in a 21st Century World. Having been a senior shift supervisor working in some of the most active and crime-ridden neighborhoods in this country, I identified areas that needed enhancing. Few individuals have had the opportunity to work the streets, then teach at the academy followed by supervising the new officers and being able to evaluate if concepts and techniques taught really work. These classes, both the 4-hour and 8-hours versions, are a fast paced interactive lecture filled with short videos, sound bytes, handouts and cutting edge survival concepts. Based on my 34 year law enforcement career and over 130 police related classes, seminars and academies, I provide street tested philosophies and easy to implement tactics.
Ethics in Law Enforcement was developed to combat ethic violations There are too many officers of all ranks that have fallen prey to both internal and external temptations and pitfalls. I have studied the bouncing effect of law enforcement from enjoying times of extremely high prestige similar to the days and weeks after September 11, 2001 and to the returnable lows of shortly thereafter. This class, which is 3 hours in duration, has a number of departmental case studies as well as individual instances. The overriding theme in this class is: Right is Right, even if no one else does it; Wrong is Wrong, even if everyone else does it.
