UNDERSTANDING AND SURVIVING CRITICAL INCIDENTS/STRESS MANAGEMENT
Many officers are killed or seriously injured each year and there is often no way the tragedy could have been avoided. In a crisis, victims focus on their vulnerability and survivors focus on their ability to respond. Since behavior in a crisis can never be predicted with certainty, it is imperative that police officers be educated and trained as to how to adopt a surviving attitude so that they can win even against incredible odds. This three (3) day course is designed to identify critical incident criteria, address factors which contribute to surviving critical incidents and gain understanding of post-traumatic stress disorders. It will also prepare police personnel to survive traumatic events by developing a winning attitude that will guide them through a crisis.
