School Resource Officer ~ (SRO) Certification Course

This 2-day course is taught from over 25 yrs. LEO/SRO experience and will provide officers the skills and knowledge necessary to work as a competent SRO in the school environment. Being  an SRO is much more than just moving a police officer from a patrol position to inside a school building. In order to be SUCCESSFUL, School Resource Officers will have to recognize and make changes in their policing mentality, identify their new role, understand the value of available resources and requires specific knowledge of the critical rules and laws that govern school policing. Areas like Miranda, search and seizure, free speech and expression are considerably different in schools than anywhere else. Special populations (autistic and special needs) students, parent interaction, class presentation and many more subjects are covered.

This certification class is specifically designed for TWO DAYS and loaded with pertinent information, not stuffed with filler material simply to charge more for an extra day or three. Simply put, this is the best bang for your buck. Please compare to other SRO courses

On November 2, 2017 we presented two Heroin on Steroids classes in Sandy (Salt Lake City) Utah.  The back to back classes were full at 60 registrations each.  In attendance were patrol officers, narcotic agents, detectives, regulatory agencies, parole/probation officers, corrections, wildlife officers, Forest Service, AG’s office, firefighters, paramedics and more.  Many in attendance said they didn’t realize how dangerous these synthetic opioids are.  There was a lot of good discussion about several recent local cases.

 One of the paramedics said that over the last several months they are using multiple doses of naloxone, sometimes up to 4 doses, to revive heroin overdoses when historically it only took one.  He realized during the class that the patients most likely did not OD on Heroin and that it was probably Fentanyl.  All of the students left the class knowing when they encounter fentanyl they can do it safely.  The highlight of the day was watching the Cubs take the world series, congratulations Cubs and Chicago!

Training Seminar Offered:

Financial Intelligence~Terrorism Program

What a phenomenal seminar we had in Crownpoint, New Mexico.  There were approximately 40 public safety professionals in attendance, predominantly law enforcement professionals, inclusive of police officers, police dispatchers, a chaplain, and a local pastor providing services to Navajo Nation and the various police departments within the Northwestern Part of New Mexico.  Focus of the seminar was on police stress, resiliency cultivation, suicide prevention/intervention, conflict resolution, and cultural sensitivity.  Several attendees participated in the table top exercise and discussion for utilizing stress abatement skills such as: ways to “reframe” (change) internal dialogue following a critical incident or series of critical incidents, the use of deep breathing, the use of visualization techniques, and the use of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) to name a few.

Suicide prevention and intervention tools were also provided and processed via  “dialing in” to particular triggering event(s) in understanding suicidality within the law enforcement population.  Embarrassment and/or humiliation is one of the top catalyst’s for suicidality, in particular suicidality within the law enforcement population.  Peer support and clinical and administrative support were some of the buffers identified, discussed and encouraged to obtain for respective departments and agencies.   To conclude, some of the unique cultural and origins of conflict within law enforcement were processed and reviewed.  They were illustrated for purposes of awareness along with proliferation of management tools in combating conflict as it arises.

Those that attended the seminar were encouraged to utilize the operational, behavioral, and clinical knowledge that was shared from such an esteemed group.  Look forward to seeing you in 2017!

Seminar Offered:

Heroin on steroids: Fentanyl, W-18 and U-47700

Pharmaceutical Drug Crimes

This course was designed to educate first responders, administrators, detectives, narcotic agents, investigators, probation/parole agents and correction officers about the exploding trend of synthetic opioids. In jurisdictions already affected by illicit Fentanyl, W-18/carfentanil, and U-47700 this course has become mandatory.  If your agency hasn’t encountered these substances yet, you will!

The course covers what these dangerous substances are, what they look like, where they come from and how to protect yourself from potentially deadly contact.  The instructors will provide information on how to initiate and safely investigate cases involving these substances that are up to 1000 times more potent than other narcotics on the street.

This one-day course includes:

A description of pharmaceutical and Illicit Fentanyl and its analogs.

Concerns, issues and safety precautions for law enforcement, investigators and EMT’s. Identifying and protocol for labs/pill press operations.

Using informants and/or undercover officers during the investigation. Known sources and distribution methods.

It’s been a busy fall for us so far this month!  Sgt. Betsy Smith spent September 6^th with a group of Arizona dispatchers at the Mesa Public Safety Training Center teaching “Career and Officer Survival for Dispatchers.”  Both during class and at the breaks we discussed everything from the dramatic rise of officer ambushes to the possibility that our “911” systems can be hacked.  As the public safety dispatcher’s job becomes more complicated and increasingly scrutinized, training events like this one help our civilian personnel stay prepared and informed.

On September 12 & 13, Dave (“JD Buck Savage”) Smith and Lt. Col. Dave Grossman presented their two day “Mindset Bootcamp” at the Washington County Sheriff’s Department in Fayetteville, AR.  For those of you who have seen Col. Grossman speak, you know he talks about Port Authority Police Officer Chris Amoroso, one of the 37 Port Authority police officers killed that day as Islamic terrorists attacked the World Trade Center with highjacked commercial jets.  It’s been fifteen years since the September 11^th, 2001 attacks in New York, Washington DC and Shanksville, PA and the police officers who paid the ultimate price that day are still some of the finest examples of what Col. Grossman calls “sheepdogs.”

Sheepdog, warrior, guardian, however you see yourself, you know that if you’ve chosen to serve you must have a commitment to service. Dave Smith talks about the ethos, or “habits” of warriors.  Police officers who see themselves as warriors don’t make war, they prevent it.  Smith’s list of “Warrior Ethos” include Duty, Honor, Courage, Loyalty, Strength and Selflessness.  The anniversary of September 11^th reminded us just how selfless those police officers and firefighters were who ran toward those burning skyscrapers while everyone else ran away.

In our Fayetteville “Mindset Bootcamp” we had a group of law enforcement professionals that included police officers, corrections personnel, parole and probation personnel, dispatchers, and forestry officers.  Many had been in shootings, a couple were still recovering physically and emotionally.  The atmosphere for this two day event is incredibly positive, affirming and informative for both the students and the instructors.  We hope to see you at one soon!
