Overview
Each year, Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) provides training to America’s law enforcement agencies on how to appropriately respond to officers and their families affected by line-of-duty traumas through the “Traumas of Law Enforcement” trainings. At these trainings, instructors will present information that is important to America’s law enforcement agencies regarding appropriate response to line-of-duty death, disability, critical incidents, and police suicide.
The training is presented over three days and includes 21-hours of class time. The “Traumas of Law Enforcement” has been said to be “the best training I have taken in my entire law enforcement career” by many who have attended.
At the conclusion of this training, the participants will have information about:
1. How an agency’s response to tragedy directly affects the level of distress of their officers and surviving family members.
2. How an individual officer’s pre-planning may directly affect the public safety officer benefit their family may receive in the event of their line-of-duty death.
3. How an officer can successfully navigate the cumulative stress caused by experiencing critical incidents throughout a law enforcement career and how their agency can assist with this.
4. The warning signs and symptoms of Police Suicide.
All of the participants in this training will be provided information about the available federal public safety officer benefits and their individual state benefits.
Some of the same issues that affect survivors come into play for officers with disabilities and those coping with trauma. Recognizing the importance of helping agencies provide appropriate support for survivors and injured or traumatized officers, C.O.P.S. provides this training free of charge. HOWEVER, PRE-REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY and participants are responsible for their own travel costs.

Fair & Impartial Policing
2018-03-21 08:30 - 16:00 (America/Detroit) | Grand Blanc Twp. Police Dept., 5405 S. Saginaw Street, Grand Blanc, MI, 48439, United States
The “fair and impartial policing perspective” reflects a new way of thinking about the issue of biased policing–based on the science of bias. Social psychologists who study bias report that bias has changed in our society. As one scientist proclaimed, “This is not your grandmother’s prejudice” (Fiske, 2008). These scientists have determined—through voluminous research on this topic—that bias today is less likely to manifest as explicit bias (such as racism) and more likely to manifest as “implicit bias.” Social psychologists have shown that “implicit” bias can impact what people perceive and do; it works below consciousness and manifests even in people who consciously hold non-prejudiced attitudes. Like explicit bias, implicit bias can produce discriminatory actions.
The 6 hour training covers the (1) science of bias and (2) implications of the science-based perspective for agency policy and practice.
Topics Covered:

What community members and police think about biased policing
The social science of human bias and its implications for policing
The benefits and elements of a comprehensive program to facilitate fair and impartial policing
Meaningful policy
Leadership, supervision and accountability
Recruitment/hiring
Education/training
Assessing institutional policies and practices
Measurement

Responding to disparity charges
Data Collection: The issues, the facts

Outreach to communities
How to implement a comprehensive program.

Facilitators: Sgt. Matt Elzinga and Detective Karen Rivard from the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety have extensive law enforcement experience and are certified Fair and Impartial Policing Trainers.
Cost:
LEORTC Licensed Members – Prepaid
LEORTC Non-Licensed Personnel – $50 p/p

Being able to write a good police report is one thing but reviewing reports of others is an entirely different skill. As a supervisor, you are responsible for the quality of the reports for those that work in your unit. So, as a supervisor, do you really know how to review a police report?
Whether you are a new supervisor, or have years of experience, this class will help you to know what is important in a police report in order to create a more thorough investigation and successful prosecution!
This is not a grammar class or a report writing class. This is a class that will help you review a police report for accuracy and completeness.
Have you ever heard of Brady v. Maryland, or Giglio v. United States? If your answer to that question is NO, then you need to attend this training. These cases and others are important for you to know to keep you and your agency from costly litigation. So, be aware and be informed.
This course is taught in a participative style so participants are asked to forward a copy of a police report* they have recently investigated to the trainers when they register for the class.
*Send to info@leortc.com and they will be forwarded to the instructor(s).

Fair & Impartial Policing
2017-12-07 08:30 - 16:00 (America/Detroit) | Grand Blanc Twp. Police Dept., 5405 S. Saginaw Street, Grand Blanc, MI, 48439, United States
The “fair and impartial policing perspective” reflects a new way of thinking about the issue of biased policing–based on the science of bias. Social psychologists who study bias report that bias has changed in our society. As one scientist proclaimed, “This is not your grandmother’s prejudice” (Fiske, 2008). These scientists have determined—through voluminous research on this topic—that bias today is less likely to manifest as explicit bias (such as racism) and more likely to manifest as “implicit bias.” Social psychologists have shown that “implicit” bias can impact what people perceive and do; it works below consciousness and manifests even in people who consciously hold non-prejudiced attitudes. Like explicit bias, implicit bias can produce discriminatory actions.
The 6 hour training covers the (1) science of bias and (2) implications of the science-based perspective for agency policy and practice.
Topics Covered:

What community members and police think about biased policing
The social science of human bias and its implications for policing
The benefits and elements of a comprehensive program to facilitate fair and impartial policing
Meaningful policy
Leadership, supervision and accountability
Recruitment/hiring
Education/training
Assessing institutional policies and practices
Measurement

Responding to disparity charges
Data Collection: The issues, the facts

Outreach to communities
How to implement a comprehensive program.

Facilitators: Sgt. Matt Elzinga and Detective Karen Rivard from the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety have extensive law enforcement experience and are certified Fair and Impartial Policing Trainers.
