The Fight After the Fight May 7 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
It is a difficult time for the American police officer. A violent and aggressive emotional war is killing our officers in astounding numbers. Police survival has never been a more vital subject of training than it is today. Thus, training is increasing and evolving to better equip officers with the tools necessary for physical survival of deadly encounters/critical incidents, but is this enough? Officers are trained to win the fight in the arena of street survival, but they are not taught how to win the fight that comes AFTER that fight, which is often the most difficult part. We are failing here, and law enforcement suicide statistics are screaming this! Two of some of the most dangerous issues threatening our police officer’s safety is post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI) and the lack of knowledge on how to protect themselves from this injury. While this is a commonly known threat to the ranks of our law enforcement, it is still not a major area of focus for training.
The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate the importance of a survival mindset BEFORE, DURING and AFTER a critical incident. An officer may possess all the vital tactical training needed to survive a deadly attack; however, if they do not possess a well-trained survival mindset, chances of survival decrease significantly, both professionally and personally.
Officers will hear a powerful, gut wrenching, story that will challenge them to take an honest, hard look at their own mental toughness and will to survive. It will challenge them to ponder the tough question of “Am I truly prepared?” and provide them with the opportunity for survival against one of the most dangerous opponents they could ever face……. THEMSELVES.
The participants of this lecture will learn the importance of developing mental preparedness prior to a critical incident and ways to achieve this vital state of readiness /resilience. They will identify signs of post-traumatic stress, its effect on the brain, their physical/emotional wellness, and that of their family members and co-workers. Additionally, attendees develop strategies in obtaining/maintaining post-traumatic growth. They will discuss various methods of stress management and will be provided with the vital tools and resources needed to win in “the fight after the fight”, which is often the most difficult part of a critical incident.
Instructor: Ann M. Carrizales was born in San Clemente, California. In 1991, she enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where she was named an Honor Graduate and Meritoriously Promoted upon graduating boot camp in Parris Island, SC. After completing military law enforcement training, she began her Military Police career. While on active military duty, Officer Carrizales made Marine Corps history when she became the first woman to represent the Marine Corps in the sport of amateur boxing and was ultimately inducted into the All-Marine Boxing Hall of Fame.
In August of 2010, Officer Carrizales began employment with the Stafford (TX) Police Department. She played a vital role within her department serving as a Field Training Officer, R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) Instructor and Police Instructor. Officer Carrizales also served on the East Fort Bend County Regional SWAT Team as a Crisis Negotiator. She was voted Officer of The Year two years in a row, an unprecedented achievement within the department.
On October 26, 2013, Officer Carrizales initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle occupied by three members of a violent gang known as MS-13. While speaking with the driver, a suspect opened fire, shooting her in the face and chest prior to fleeing. Carrizales immediately returned fire and while bleeding and in severe pain, got back into her patrol vehicle and began pursuit of the suspects. With the help of various police agencies and Houston Crime Stoppers, all three suspects were captured. (Dash cam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD7TGNjJA2I )

Rental Communities Crime Prevention October 9, 2024 @ 8:30 am - 12:30 pm
This course is open to both members of public safety and civilian apartment complex managers and single-family rental unit landlords. This four hour seminar will offer participants a fresh approach to reducing 911 calls for service and increasing tenant’s quality of life through tried and true best practices and case studies.
Attendees will learn that there are three important principles to deterring crime and creating rental community efficiency.
Partnerships- Neither Police Officers, Rental Community Management, nor Residents can fight crime and quality of life issues alone. A reciprocated union is required to fix reoccurring issues and the only way to find success is through a collaborative effort.
Prevention- The understanding that prevention is always better than having to seek a cure. This is accomplished through critical risk assessments put into action to achieve a preventative goal.
Participation- The realization that crime is a community problem which requires everyone working together to reduce or prevent it. This is the true essence of the police and citizen partnership and only when put into actual practice can cooperative strategies be implemented to fix reoccurring problems. Total success and profitability can be realized when all stakeholders become involved.

First Responder Grants October 29 @ 8:30 am - October 30 @ 4:30 pm
Win Grants for Your Agency
2 Days of Grant Writing Training for Public Safety Agencies
$3+ Billion FUNDING TRACK RECORD
The Law Enforcement Officers Regional Training Commission will host a 2-day specialized class for all Public Safety / First Responder Agencies on developing, writing, and applying for grant programs. The class will be presented by staff from First Responder Grants, (www.firstrespondergrants.com Participants will learn the skills needed to properly research, develop and apply to grant funding streams specific to Public Safety, Emergency Management and Homeland Defense.
The training is specifically directed at employees of First Responder and Public Safety Agencies of Police/Fire/EMS and Emergency Management or local government agencies seeking grant funding from Federal/State/Local grant funding sources.
Does this sound like your agency?
- Your agency lacks funds for vital equipment or training.
- You applied for grants in the past, but just can’t seem to get your application into the winner’s circle.
- Times are tight and your budget is shrinking, but grants seem so intimidating, you’ll never figure out how to get that crucial additional funding for your department.
- Need help finding grants?
You’re not the only one. Fire Departments, Law Enforcement Agencies, and other Emergency Services Agencies nationwide have felt the sting of the budget ax. Competition for grant funding awards is fierce. This training provides a competitive edge!
Don’t settle for another “Dear John” rejection notice. What did our clients do to avoid those rejection notices?
They got First Responder Grants training.
“We have been awarded $410,199, and we have about $4,000 invested in training and assistance through you. That’s over $100,000 for every $1,000 invested. Thank you.”
— Undersheriff Mickey Gruber, Brown County Sheriff, Kansas
In this economy, the competition for grant dollars will be extremely high. First Responder Grants Training gives you the competitive edge needed to win grants for your agency!
“Our department is very small and gets very little support from local government. Years ago, my department sent me to a First Responder Grants seminar in Philadelphia. It was the best money our department has ever spent. I would estimate in the last 3 years we are in the $750,000-$1,000,000-dollar club for grants. I would highly recommend going to this seminar.”
