Improving Tactical Decision Making: Knowing the Whys & Hows
May 12, 2016
We are plagued with stories about poor tactics and excessive use of force and as such public outcry for change is louder than ever. As a result, many agencies have attempted quick fixes without a true understanding of some of the underlying use-of-force concepts and principles that create a strong and defendable decision-making paradigm. Additionally, a better understanding of these foundational concepts will provide deputies with decision-making abilities and de-escalation skills (soft skills) that will complement their hard skills, make them more well-rounded responders and reduce use of force incidents. This course will discuss in detail concepts like Jeopardy, Less Lethal Opportunity, the Safety Priorities, and Space and Time, as well as de-escalation techniques in a way to help officers create a foundation to help them navigate any situation. Regardless of your rank or position, you will come away with a better understanding of these tactical concepts and learn how to make better, repeatable, and defendable decisions in stressful incidents. The ability to make these decisions will not only improve officer's confidence, but also lead to more consistency across employees, reduced liability and improved public perception.

Are You Managing The Change Or Is The Change Managing You?
April 14, 2016

Although change is really the only constant in life, most of us were never provided the skills and strategies to successfully implement a change effort in our personal and professional lives. As a result, many personal and professional change efforts are conducted in ways that lead to less than successful results. This webinar will define what change is and the different ways it is perceived, explore the challenges in implementing any change effort, review the main reasons people resist change and how to directly address these, explore how to get people bought into and embracing of change, and describe the specific steps required for a successful change effort. By the end of the webinar, participants can expect to have a new perspective on change and the tools they need to both more effectively manage the changes that life brings to them and also the ones they are in charge of facilitating.

The Way of the Jedi: Developing the Balance Between the Warrior & Guardian
January 14, 2016
There is debate about whether officers should be warrior or guardians; however, these are polarizing extremes that force people to take sides and limit the mindset and tools that can be used. We suggest officers should be a balanced blend of both and use the "Jedi" to reveal how this approach will improve officer response and public perception.

Enterprise Risk Management for JPS
May 28, 2015
Change is happening, every day in every state in every department. For agencies in Justice and Public Safety, perhaps the most important reform is the incorporation of principles of evidence-based practice into sentencing, rehabilitation, policy and practice.
The term evidence-based practice management (EBPM ) was used initially in relation to medicine, but has since been adopted by criminal justice and public safety in many fields. Areas that can be most affected by this kind of approach include Jail Management, Pretrial, Community Corrections and Officer Risk Management.
