    Course Description:


    Natalie Johnson will present: Keys to High Performance Stress


    Although stress is a predominant factor in all our lives, research has revealed that the traditional way we view stress isn’t helpful and contributes to burnout. Science suggests that we can actually use our stress to foster performance, better connect with those that matter, and even extend our life. This training will focus on the updated science of stress and how we can utilize stress as a true superpower. Participants will leave with several strategies they can use immediately in their work and home life.


    Lt. Dainty will be presenting the below case study:


    On 6/30/23, Highlands County Sheriff’s Office, attempted a motor vehicle stop which resulted in a vehicle pursuit. During the pursuit, 911 calls were received from within the vehicle and an occupant advised she was being held at gunpoint by the other vehicle occupant. The pursuit continued into Polk County where the vehicle ultimately became disabled in an orange grove. Polk County Sheriff’s Office SWAT and CNT were activated, and CNT assumed control of the negotiation.

    Region 5 FAHN Training Event:  Crisis Management With Individuals With Autism

    Date:  Thursday, November 9, 2023

    Time:  0800 hrs -1700 hrs 


    Presented by:  Diana Zeitz, Officer, Jupiter Police Department

    Location:  Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, 10750 Ulmerton Road, Largo, FL 33778


    Course Description:


    Individuals with Austim interact with Law Enforcement everyday and are often misunderstood, or mislabeled as difficult and uncooperative. It is important for LEOs to be able to identify an individual who falls on the spectrum of Austim, and then break those communication barriers to obtain necessary information.


    We will build on the identification markers of Austim, and how patience is key when communicating with these individuals. Participants will be provided available resources to LEOs and engage in some practical exercises to hone learned skills.

        [EXTERNAL COURSE] Savage Training Group - Response to the Non-criminal Barricade


    Dates:   Nov. 17, 2023

    Time:   0800-1700 hrs


    Presented by:  Scott Savage, Active Duty Law Enforcement Officer and Founder, Savage Training Group


    Hosted by: Miami Beach Police Department


    Location:  Miami Beach Police Department, 1100 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139


    COURSE DESCRIPTION:


    This course teaches law enforcement officers and

    supervisors the best way to respond to mentally ill

    persons who are armed, barricaded, and in crisis.

    You’ll leave the course with an understanding of

    modern disengagement and re-engagement

    tactics, the specific ways to avoid liability, and

    a collection of the best non-criminal barricade

    policies from police agencies all around the

    country.


    This course breaks down the relevant laws that

    govern liability, “special relationships”, and the

    “public duty doctrine”. Through dramatic bodycam

    debriefs of actual non-criminal barricade incidents,

    you will learn why some officers were found liable

    and others were not. You will walk away with

    modern tactics your agency can use to both limit

    liability and prevent violent confrontations.
