Officer Survival Training Event Planned to Help Rural and Indian Country Police
Albuquerque, NM, August 02, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Lamar Associates and Narrowgate Security Agency (NGSA) are teaming up to present a dynamic three-day training event that incorporates two full days of live fire exercises. The Indian Country Officer Survival and Wellness Training is scheduled from September 25-27, 2012, at Santa Ana Pueblo in New Mexico and currently open for registration. This regional training session promotes officer safety and wellness and is designed to improve officer survival for rural and Indian County law enforcement officers.
The impact of an unhealthy or mentally impaired police officer has implications not only for the individual officer, but also for tribal and rural communities as a whole. Officers operating under severe and chronic stress are at greater risk for error, accidents and overreaction, which can compromise their performance, jeopardize public safety and pose significant liability costs to the organization.
Participants will receive the necessary training to be physically, mentally and tactically prepared to successfully survive confrontations, including active shooter and rapid deployment situations. This training provides a unique opportunity to learn, share experiences and network in a multi-jurisdictional environment.
The training program includes exercises on building searches, traffic stops, use of cover and concealment, mental preparation for the armed confrontation and officer mental and physical wellness issues. Police officers working in and around Indian Country will appreciate gaining appropriate knowledge, attitude and skills to survive complex situations encountered in the course of their duties.
The Officer Survival and Wellness Training involves one day of classroom instruction and two full days on the live fire range and training simulator. Participants will return to their departments with practical experience in applying skills learned to various situations encountered in the line of duty.
