These are important tools in developing strategies and systems to ensure safety and management of these difficult calls.

To be successful, Law Enforcement agencies must be dedicated to properly training their people. Part of this must be embracing the use of technology to not only create new training opportunities but to enhance pre-existing trainings. Technology can help your agency provide useful, meaningful, and impactful in house training that is beneficial to the Officers and cost effective to the agency. The Dover Police Department is doing this by utilizing this new multi-screened simulator that can expose their Officers numerous scenarios to help develop them develop their verbal and tactical skills. Law Enforcement agencies who do not constantly evaluate their training programs and look to improve them by “pushing the boundaries” of the program by sending Officers to a wide range of diverse and dynamic trainings, seeking out and accepting new training opportunities/tools, and developing a strong series of in-house trainings are failing their Officers. Long gone are the days in which it is satisfactory to just meet persihable skills mandates and the state mandated number of minimum training hours. Agencies must have a culture that not only embraces training, but embraces evolving training. Just meeting the minimum ensures that your Officers have minimum capabilities which does them, the department, and the community a disservice. #police #policeofficer #officer #officers #policedepartment #policechief #sheriff #deputy #lawenforcement #training #policetraining #lawenforcementtraining #technology #copscountpolicematter #policingmatters #policing #skillbuilding #trainingprogram #leadership #cop #cops International Association of Chiefs of Police Police Executive Research Forum Major Cities Chiefs Association TEEX - Institute for Law Enforcement and Protective Services FBI National Academy Associates, Inc.

APD CONTRACT SHOULD PROMOTE ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRAINING FOR OFFICERS TO NOT ESCALATE A SITUATION. Chief of Police, Art Acevedo was aware of his Officers and did hold his Officers to the highest standards, as each Officer should von his/her own. APD has lowered its standards of acceptance to the APD Academy. Officers deserve respect, accountability and fair pay for risking life’s. Officers that are not adequately held accountable should be discharged. Officers that go beyond the call of duty should be rewarded. APD Needs Police not, community members policing. Reinforcing APD Training should be according to the moment and reactive policing should be a call for retraining and depending on each scenario performance should be reevaluated and assessed. Recognize APD Officers who do their job and provide support to the community wellbeing

I have finally completed my recent independent study on the crucial role of psychological training in policing! In my study, I explored the current state of psychological training for police officers in the United States and advocated for mandatory inclusion of this training in police practice. With a deep dive into research as well as conducting interviews, I uncovered significant gaps in the understanding and application of empathy and psychology in law enforcement. Key findings revealed a pressing need for comprehensive training programs that prioritize empathy and understanding of psychological disorders. These programs can not only enhance officer effectiveness but also foster greater empathy and respect for individuals in the system. I believe that by bridging this knowledge gap and implementing mandatory training programs, we can begin to cultivate a more empathetic and equitable society, aimed at not only reducing crime but also supporting one of the most misunderstood and marginalized communities: the incarcerated population.

The American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) has recently established National Standards for Community Supervision as a resource to provide guidance at every level. Read the full document here: https://lnkd.in/eQTiczpm    Here are three key takeaways:   - Evidence-Based Practices: The APPA emphasizes the importance of using evidence-based practices in community supervision to enhance public safety and reduce recidivism. This includes using validated risk and needs assessments and tailoring supervision strategies to individual needs.   - Collaboration and Training: Effective community supervision requires collaboration with courts, local organizations, and treatment providers. Comprehensive training and skill development for staff, along with performance feedback and coaching, are essential.   - Individualized Supervision: Supervision terms and conditions should be reasonable and tailored to the individual. Specialized assessments and caseloads are recommended for specific populations, and early discharge policies and incentives are encouraged to promote compliance and behavior change.   Learn more about MHS' validated risk needs assessments here: https://lnkd.in/gBAG7EeX   MHS' Core Pathway solution is designed to support justice-involved individuals and staff. The solution includes communication, education, health, and well-being tools to help justice-involved individuals use their time productively and prepare for re-entry into society.

61st Hastings, NE. Adult Probation Dist. 10 - CJC Peer Led Trauma Informed brief Restorative Justice Intervention (RJI) “Crime Victims Impact/Emotional Hygiene (Life Skills) class” Saturday – September 28, 2024. How was the class helpful? “I just wanted to tell you thank you again for being in Hastings yesterday for our class. It was extremely informative and full of great things to continue going down the right path. Your example of breaking into Arturo’s home really hit home when you said you could return all of the things you took but you couldn’t take away the fear his kids felt or other things like that. I was of the mindset that restitution was all my victims needed which is why I paid it all back immediately before even beginning the court process. I wouldn’t have known any differently if it weren’t for the class yesterday. There was so much more that went into it beyond restitution so thank you for giving me the tools and information to realize and understand that.” J. Lynch “This workshop helped me understand how many victims that have been affected by my negative emotions. I also learned skill to cope (emotional hygiene tech).” K. Ervin “I learned how to make better decision how to control my ANGER in situations.” A. Garcia - CJC TRANSFORMING HARM to HEALING to HOPE! Out of the five (5) justice involved individuals who attended our RJI – 80% demonstrated some level of empathetic response or insight into the effects their actions had on their victims or communities. The average ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience – child trauma) score for this class was a “4” out of 10; with all five or 100% rating our program EXCELLENT! #goodwillLincoln #victimsimpactstatements #reentry #restorativejustice #transformativejustice

📢 NEW report out today on young adults (aged 18-25) shows potential benefits of a specialist, dedicated approach to this age group, co-locating services in one welcoming place, and taking a 'young adult first' approach. Expert research team including Jenni Ward PhD and Karen Duke As the report sums up "having access to the right support and seeing a future ahead of them can help prevent young adults from reoffending". https://lnkd.in/eTDMiE6b I am interested in people's reflections on the report the Newham Hub and what could happen next in policy and practice for young adults. What do you think? The distinct strengths and needs of young adults in the criminal justice system is an area I have worked on for over 15 years now. There is still so much to do to implement promising practice/what we know more broadly.

The cumulative stress of policing has public safety consequences for law enforcement officers, too 🚨 Policing is tough—and not just for public safety. The constant stress can take a serious toll on officers' mental health, leading to issues like PTSD and alcoholism. Officer Joseph Holsopple’s tragic story highlights the need to break the stigma around seeking help in law enforcement. Mental health support is vital—not only for officers but for the communities they serve. 💙 #lasd #MentalHealthMatters #EndTheStigma #LawEnforcementWellness #PTSD #PublicSafety Read the full story to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dJaJRhqu
