R4138 Peer Support- Pocatello FREE
September 23-26, 2024 0800-1700
Credit Hours: 32
Course Number: R4138
Description:
Law enforcement is one of the most stressful occupations that exist. Each day, a law enforcement officer is faced with more stress than an average person faces in five years. The daily threat of death, the succession of one high stress event after another, the in-depth scrutiny of our actions by others, and the culture of denial we have created causes us to have issues no other occupation has. Our life expectancy is much shorter than average, our rate of alcohol and drug abuse is high, our suicide rate is high, and we have done very little to address these issues.
Peer Support is the best mechanism to remedy our failures in addressing the elephant in the room. Who knows more about a law enforcement officer’s life than another officer? This thirty-two-hour course will train each attendee to “coach” fellow officers through the emotional and psychological issues they face daily.
Topics include responding to officer involved shootings and other high stress events, general job stress, suicide recognition and prevention, the recognition of mental disorders, family issues, line of duty deaths, and one-on-one ‘coaching’ of other officers. Protocols for creating or improving peer support teams will be discussed as well as policy and confidentiality/privilege.
Attendees must be law enforcement officers, dispatchers, chaplains, or behavioral health professionals who work with law enforcement. This is a very unique class developed by law enforcement for law enforcement. The personal benefits of this course and using it to help other officers is life changing.

August 6-8, 2024, 0800-1800
Credit Hours: 30
Course Number: R4232E
Description:
For those that do not understand canines or have a misconception as to just how beneficial canines can be to a SWAT team, S.K.I.D.D.S. is the answer. The goal of this three day course will be to educate and train both canine handlers and the SWAT team members on the deployment of police service dogs in a SWAT operation.
At S.K.I.D.D.S. we will teach you approaches, entries, slow stealth and tactical team movements and searching techniques, safer arrest techniques along with team movement during live gunfire. The skills you will learn at S.K.I.D.D.S. will enhance your searching abilities and make your job safer and easier.
Open to all sworn police officers and military police who are currently members of their departments K9 unit or SWAT team. SWAT and K9 supervisors are encouraged to attend.
CATS is for handlers and K9’s that need a little help before they train with their departments SWAT team. CATS is also for patrol K9 teams that don’t have a SWAT team, will never search with a SWAT team and need a class to improve their officer safety and searching techniques.
The same techniques that are taught at S.K.I.D.D.S. are taught at CATS.
CATS is open to all sworn police officers and military police who are currently members of their departments K9 unit or SWAT team. SWAT and K9 supervisor are encouraged to attend.
