Officer Safety: Surviving in your Office

The objective of this course is to assist law enforcement officers in combatting complacency and readjusting their survival mindset. We'll discuss how we as officers can prepare through strategy-based mindset to be safer and more confident in our job performance. This course discusses law enforcement topics concerning critical training skills, critical survival skills, and strategies for law enforcement to incorporate into their daily activities. Our officers face crisis daily in the performance of their duties but are they prepared for what is coming? How often do we let complacency take over our lives? “Nothing like this ever happened in our town, they wouldn’t do that in a city like ours, I have never had anything like this happen to me before” … These are common statements that come from those officers who became complacent. This course looks at several FBI studies concerning officers who were killed in the line of duty (Killed in the Line of Duty, In the Line of Fire, Violent Encounters, and Law Enforcement Officers Killed Assaulted.) This course covers how social media affects law enforcement, the judicial reforms effects, officer behavior, officer mental wellness, and PTSD.

 

Cancellation Policy

The course cancellation policy requires a minimum of a 15-day prior notice from the course start date when a student will not be attending the course. The notification to not attend will be made by email through our website, and if they identify no replacement student, cancellations with less than 15-days notice will cause a department credit that can be used towards another future training event within one year from the original course date. We will charge no-shows without email notification the full course fee, even if the payment has not already been made. We offer a one-year future course credit as well for any no-show that is charged a full course fee. This policy is in effect as of June 23, 2021, and you as a representative of your agency agree to abide by this policy by registering for any course. Please contact us by email or phone if you have questions about this cancellation policy. This policy is in place because of students that register for courses and take training slots without attending training, which removes the opportunity for another officer to attend. We pay the instructors teaching these programs based on the number of officers scheduled to attend the event, and we base our travel cost including instructor pay on registration fees. This policy is considered a binding contract between BSTS LLC and the student or student agency or company.
