This training can help improve officer safety by introducing and reexamining essential skills that every law enforcement professional should possess.

Key concepts covered during this event:
- Threats and Challenges: As the threats and challenges faced by law enforcement continue to change on both a national and local scale, so must each officer and law enforcement training. Current training topics in this category include crisis-intervention techniques, casualty care and rescue concepts, and law enforcement professionalism.
- Words and Actions: Detect and decipher visual and verbal cues by subjects and learn how your words and actions affect an encounter. Having these skills can help you diffuse and de-escalate a dangerous situation, detect a hidden weapon, or prevent an attempted assault.
- Mind and Body: Prepare yourself today, both physically and mentally, for whatever tomorrow may bring by learning methods to improve long-term wellness and resiliency. Listen to an officer's personal story of survival and recovery from a critical incident.

Instructors will provide officers with tools to enhance professionalism while utilizing techniques for preventing and de-escalating situations that may result in a violent encounter.
